Behind the scenes snap confirms our first look at a Stark sibling reunion

A photo from the set has potentially given away a big plot point for season seven.

Game of Thrones season seven is going to be about a lot of things.

Cersei’s desperate claim for the Iron Throne, the Targaryen invasion of Westeros, and surely a pretty mighty influx of White Walkers.

But for a lot of fans, it’s all about a Stark family reunion. Bran, Sansa and Arya – the three remaining Stark children – haven’t seen each other since season one and, in Bran’s case, since the very first episode.

As we know, it’s Arya’s intention to return to Winterfell having left a trail of enemy corpses in her wake, and Bran needs to get back into the heart of Westeros to warn everyone about the White Walkers. Of course, Sansa will be waiting there for them having re-captured their home with the help of their half-brother Jon.

But it looks like the two youngest remaining Stark children will be crossing paths much sooner than we thought.

Filming has started for season seven of the wildly popular HBO series, as it draw towards its inevitable finale. And we could be seeing a Stark reunion early on in the new instalment.

At least, that’s what we think is happening since photos from the set show Maisie Williams (who plays Arya) and Isaac Hempstead Wright (who plays Bran) have both been on location in Belfast and getting their make-up done in the same trailer.

So an Arya-Bran storyline is looking rather likely for the time being, and it makes sense considering the two of them are pretty much on their own for now, which doesn’t make for great TV.

We hope this one ends up a little bit less bloodily than things usually do for House Stark.
