Game of Thrones Season 8 is currently being filmed, and in multiple locations. After the cool-down following the filming of a huge battle sequence, the filming has now moved to a few other locations, one of which is the King’s Landing set at Titanic Studios, Belfast. We recently gave you guys a little update on the set, and now we have one a bit more important: archers have been spotted on the set. Read on!
Mild spoilers follow, so proceed at your own risk. Now, if you don’t remember, we saw the Dothraki and Unsullied marching on the set, followed by some corpse props, and more recently, we saw new structures on the set, including ground quivers, which are used by archers when shooting from a fixed location, and now it seems like they’re being put to use. First off, there’s confirmation that filming is ongoing:
I’m in Belfast and I just took this pic, lights are one. They’re probably filming!! from freefolk
..and another fan spotted archers in action:
The user who posted this picture, RedB04, claims HBO contacted him to tell him to take it down. He also notes that the archers were dressed in “red skirts,” so it is safe to assume that Cersei is still on the Throne.

There’s actually more pictures of the archers, although the fan who shot them wasn’t sure what kind of soldiers they were:
