Or at least that’s the impression U.S. satellite network HBO chooses to give in the teaser for Game of Thrones that it unveiled on primetime TV on Sunday night.
The 1 minute 28 second clip trails the fantasy epic’s eighth and last series, which hits screens on April 14.
The scene takes place in the crypts below Winterfell, where we hear the voices of the late Ned and Catelyn Stark speak of Jon as he passes their statues.
Jon is joined by Sansa and Arya Stark, and as three of the surviving children of the show’s central clan walk further through the family crypt they arrive at a set of three statues that show ... themselves.
Soon after the trailer dropped, social media forums were filled with rib-tickling memes.
Here are few:
Last last Arya will die, is like you people have not learnt your lesson since Ned Stark's death and what happened at the red wedding, you think the makers of #GameOfThrones care about your feelings??
