‘Game of Thrones’ season 7 is currently filming in Iceland. It was reported that cast members had to endure the location’s severe weather conditions. Meanwhile, it was speculated that Maisie William’s Arya is set to reunite with a long-lost friend.
The cast and crew of HBO’s popular fantasy television series based on the novels authored by George R. R. Martin are currently in Iceland shooting scenes for the highly-anticipated seventh season, according to Esquire. Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss previously admitted that they had to push back the release date for season 7 as they had to wait for winter in order to resume production.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, a source revealed that the show’s actors had to endure sub-zero temperatures, strong wind, and only a few hours of daylight each day.
The source said, "Super jeeps are needed to bring in equipment, and much is then transported by hand… The actors are made up and dressed in hotels and driven to location 90 percent ready to shoot. Shelter is provided by 'Russian tents' that are anchored down, and able to be heated, and [can] withstand 100 mph winds."
The source also added that the severe weather conditions proved to be a challenge for the production crew since the wind made it difficult to make out dialogues between characters. Lowland locations also had lack of snow. The fantasy series is expected to move filming to Australia sometime in the middle of the 2017.
Meanwhile, Maisie Williams’ feisty Arya Stark is speculated to meet one of her long lost friends in the upcoming season. According to Games Radar, the young lady of Winterfell is likely to have a reunion with her direwolf, Nymeria as she makes her way back to the North. Nymeria is one of the six direwolf puppies the Stark children found in the beginning of the series.
Each Stark child had a direwolf of their own to love, raise, and grow up with. Arya specifically named Nymeria after the warrior queen of Rhoynar. Nymeria’s fate remained unknown after she ran off in the Riverlands following her attack on Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson).
‘Game of Thrones’ season 7 is expected to return to HBO in summer 2017. No official release date has been announced as of the present.
