Game of Thrones confirms 2 characters are alive at the end of season 7

IGN shared the latest news about Game of Thrones with us today. In the finale of Game of Thrones Season 7, the life and death of Tormund the Wildling and Beric of the Brotherhood Without Banners became one of the most concerned focuses. However, HBO officials accidentally confirmed that these characters will actually survive and appear in Season 8.

Warning: This story contains spoilers if you haven't seen Game of Thrones Season 7 yet.

A scene from the Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones depicts the wildlings Tormund and Beric in danger at the Wall, which is being destroyed by the Night King and his wight dragons. Until now, it's unclear whether Tormund and Beric made it out of harm's way.

Now fans can go to the source to find out for themselves. HBO submitted a number of episodes for the Emmy Awards, including the final episode of Season 7, and everyone can watch it online. Although the lines do not specifically describe whether the two fan-favorite characters are still alive, it is hinted that Tormund and Beric escaped Eastwatch in time.

The script for the final episode:

"Tormund and Beric led their wildling companions to the ice ladder - Eastwatch had a great winding staircase instead of an elevator like Castle Black. They ran for their lives and disappeared from sight."

This script accurately describes the main content of that episode, but ignores the subsequent explanation of the destruction of the East Sea Wall, making the audience think that the two of them died in this episode.

Fans will learn the true fate of Tormund and Beric when Game of Thrones returns for Season 8 in the first half of 2019.
