Filming on Game of Thrones season 8 chugs on, and the sets continue to grow and change. We’ve had our eye on an enormous set — the largest they’ve ever built — being constructed at Titanic Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland for a while. Today, some new photos have surfaced. Beware light SPOILERS below.
The set is standing in for King’s Landing, and the new photos come from Twitter’s own @a_red_priestess.
I have some pictures for you!

Pic 2 shows battlements on the sides of the archway.
Pic 3 taken from the Titanic Museum.
Pic 4. In my opinion, this is the general layout of the set.#GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/gOAhpfDIaW
Let’s see what we can see.
The first photo is a bird’s eye view of the set, although it’s kind of hard to make out what exactly we’re looking at.

Photo number three is taken from the Titanic Museum side of things, giving us a more encompassing view of the area.
The tower — seen to the right of the center of the frame above — is one of the more finished structures in the set, although at least one other building looks like it now has more finishing touches. Here’s a view of the tower from closer up:
Finally, @a_red_priestess diagrammed what the complex looks like in the abstract:
What’s actually going to be filmed on this set? That’s rather a bigger spoiler, but if you want to know, click here.
Keep on keeping a lid on things, HBO.
