With [Daenerys Targaryen](http://time.com/4813521/game-of-thrones-daenerys-dragons-westeros-photo/ "undefined") poised to finally arrive in the Seven Kingdoms, [season seven](http://time.com/4816689/game-of-thrones-season-7-theories-arya-cersei-daenerys/ "undefined") of _Game of Thrones_ is sure to be full of new challenges for everyone’s favorite khaleesi. But while many fans speculate that Dany will be paying her first visit to King’s Landing, Emilia Clarke — who plays the dragon queen on the HBO drama — recently hinted that her character may also show up in an unexpected location. “Spoiler alert – I normally don’t spend very much time in Belfast, but this last season I spent a little more time there,” she told [_Rolling Stone_](http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/features/game-of-thrones-cover-story-emilia-clarke-the-queen-of-dragons-tells-all-w489550 "undefined"). “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!’ Rumors are going to be confirmed or denied.” Since the show typically films more northern scenes in Belfast, Clarke seems to be hinting that Daenerys will head straight into the heart of Westeros’ newly-arrived winter — perhaps for a rendezvous with King in the North Jon Snow. However, she could also just be leading fans astray. Season seven of _Game of Thrones_ premieres July 16 at 9 p.m. on HBO. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4836853/game-of-thrones-emilia-clarke-daenerys-targaryen-season-7/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4836853/game-of-thrones-emilia-clarke-daenerys-targaryen-season-7/"},"headline":"Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke Drops Major Clue About Daenerys' Future","datePublished":"2017-06-28T16:51:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T16:21:30.301Z","description":"\"Spoiler alert\"","url":"https://time.com/4836853/game-of-thrones-emilia-clarke-daenerys-targaryen-season-7/","keywords":["Television","game of thrones","TV","emilia clarke","Daenerys Targaryen"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c2f339261afa7f2/6988c3d0fb4eac99e98919f6/got-11.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c2f339261afa7f2/6988c3d0fb4eac99e98919f6/got-11.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Game of Thrones Daenerys","caption":"","creditText":"Helen Sloan—HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4836853/game-of-thrones-emilia-clarke-daenerys-targaryen-season-7/","name":"Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke Drops Major Clue About Daenerys' Future"}}]}] ```
