Winterfell, as seen in Game of Thrones.

Spoilers follow.

The images, which have been shared by Game of Thrones fansite winteriscoming.net, show the Winterfell set for the hit HBO fantasy show engulfed in flames. Along with pictures, several people also posted videos on social media showing the towering flames burning down the Starks’ home.

Several theories are doing the rounds online, the most popular of which suggest the involvement of Visyrion, one of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons who was resurrected from the dead by the evil Night King, or the Khaleesi herself. It is also being speculated that Dany’s nemesis, Cersei Lannister could have launched an attack on Winterfell, the home to the Starks and the Nights Watch.

In any case, things are not looking good for Jon Snow and his family, finally reunited after seven long seasons spent on their own individual journeys.

HBO recently confirmed that the show would return for its final season after a longer than usual gap in 2019. More recently, Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the show, hinted that the final season might premiere in April, 2019.
