Season 8 pre-production: Dothraki huts show up at Titanic Studios

Shooting on Game of Thrones season 8 hasn’t yet begun, but HBO is making ready. There’s been activity at various shooting locations, including at Titanic Studios in Northern Ireland, which has long been the central hub of production for the show. Game of Thrones fan-site Los Siete Reinos snagged a photo of what’s happening there. Read on for more.

The sources at LSR have passed on the below photo of a hut on a lot at Titantic Studios.

Per LSR, this is one of three huts in the area — another one is about the same size, while the third is much larger. At a glance, it looks like the kind of Dothraki hut we saw when Daenerys made her return visit to Vaes Dothrak in season 6. Might her khalasar use these as they march north to contend with the army of the dead? How would the Dothraki react to huts covered in snow? Is the big hut Daenerys’ queenly quarters?

Of course, they could be ordinary huts, as well — it’s not like the Dothraki have a patent on thatched structures. We’ll probably find out more when filming begins in October, and more still when season 8 debuts a really long time from now.
