Game of Thrones season 7 is nearly here and one of its key players has opened up about whether she’ll survive the next seven episodes and make it to the final season. Emilia Clarke (better known as Daenerys) may have committed a big HBO no-no by revealing whether her character will show up down the road – and that includes any spinoffs. Potential spoilers follow…

"I mean, I have no doubt there'll be prequels and sequels and who knows what else. But I am doing one more season [after Game of Thrones season 7] and then that’ll be it." she said during an interview with Rolling Stone.

Uhh, so it sounds like (praise the Lord of Light and the Seven!) that the Mother of Dragons will, at the very least, make it to the final run of episodes. As for not appearing in any spinoffs, I was really looking forward to Keeping Up with the Targaryens…

  • House of the Dragon episode 10 HBO boss says House of the Dragon will end with season 4 but "doesn't know" if it will be an extra-long final season

As for what’s to come in Game of Thrones season 7, Clarke is keeping the cards close to her chest, but had this to offer: “It's a really interesting season in terms of some loose ends that have been tied, some really satisfying plot points, some things where you're like, 'Oh, my God. I forgot about that!'”

See you in season 8, Dany!

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
