That’s Lena Heady in the middle as she and makeup artist Candice Banks along with hair designer Kevin Alexander all sport Daenerys Targaryen wigs. As Winter is Coming points out, Banks and Alexander have both been with the show since season 1, and it makes sense for them to be there, on set, for season 8.

Recently, Banks shared a photo of her and Alexander with Daenerys Targaryen actress Emilia Clarke, as they prepped Clarke’s hair to be Daenerys Targaryen blonde.

So, as you can see, the stars are beginning to arrive in Belfast, to prepare for the filming of Game of Thrones season 8. And, as Collider points out, Jaime Lannister actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau confirmed that season 8 filming would start this month.

"We go back in October, so maybe in the next few weeks, we’ll get the scripts and I’ll find out. I’m very curious."

We are very curious as well, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. For now, all we need to know is when Game of Thrones season 8 will premiere and we’ll all feel a little better that our favorite addiction has a return date.
