Weiss, fans immediately began to speculate that his character could be returning. Benioff and Weiss are currently in Ireland for pre-production of _Thrones’_ seventh season, fueling rumors that Momoa was meeting with them to discuss rejoining the cast. Of course, since Drogo already made one post-mortem appearance when he came to Daenerys during her vision in the House of the Undying, it’s entirely possible he could return in a similar manner in season seven as his former wife finally makes her way to Westeros. “Cheeeeehhoooooooooo. \[At\] [Guinness](https://www.instagram.com/Guinness/) in Ireland. Drinking mothers milk With my brothers \[Brian Andrew Mendoza,\] dan and david,” the 37-year-old actor captioned the photo. “Love ya GOT greatest show on earth ALOHA DROGO.” > [](https://twitter.com/SirenMika/status/768316861649788928) > [](https://twitter.com/xXlouiesXx/status/768321815412248576) > [](https://twitter.com/KaylynnHarris/status/768516479163637760) > [](https://twitter.com/DanyUnburnt/status/767872915157164032) > [](https://twitter.com/CaptainAdriana/status/768397728703451136) However, it seems more likely that Momoa is visiting Ireland mainly to tour the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, as he has posted several pictures of himself doing just that since his _G.o.T._ reunion. \[h/t [Uproxx](http://uproxx.com/tv/jason-momoa-khal-drogo-game-of-thrones-season-7/3/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4464808/game-of-thrones-jason-momoa-khal-drogo-return-instagram/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4464808/game-of-thrones-jason-momoa-khal-drogo-return-instagram/"},"headline":"Game of Thrones Fans Are Freaking Out Over Jason Momoa's Khal Drogo Instagram","datePublished":"2016-08-24T19:00:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:49.234Z","description":"\"ALOHA DROGO\"","url":"https://time.com/4464808/game-of-thrones-jason-momoa-khal-drogo-return-instagram/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","TV","Jason Momoa"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt186b079a805deb3e/6988550d524fc05837df32b0/game-of-thrones-deaths-31.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":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt186b079a805deb3e/6988550d524fc05837df32b0/game-of-thrones-deaths-31.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"game-of-thrones-deaths-31","caption":"Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke in Game of Thrones","creditText":"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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4464808/game-of-thrones-jason-momoa-khal-drogo-return-instagram/","name":"Game of Thrones Fans Are Freaking Out Over Jason Momoa's Khal Drogo Instagram"}}]}] ```
