Game of Thrones Season 8 is set to arrive next year, and the cast and crew recently had a wrap party but the filming isnโt yet over. As the haze from that party settles, we have buzz of filming from other locations, and Dothrakiare involved! Read on!
First off is the return of the pink signs, this time at Lessans Riding Stables:

Dothraki extras were seen mounted on horses, at the Lessans Riding Stables, in an Instagram picture which was then deleted. The caption read:
โWhat an exciting week weโve had transforming the yard into a film set. Try explaining to a Dothraki warrior that, even though the sun is blazing, Winter is here.โ
Hereโs the picture, reuploaded to Twitter by a fan:

Now this is around Saintfield, where the Battle of the Bastards was shot, and it looks like we will see the Dothraki on that field now. This has to be a Winterfell shot, which we know will be a part of a big battle sequence. Thereโs a possibility itโs just a small cut scene of the horde riding in, since the chunk of the action has been filmed months ago.
In other news, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) recently posted an Instagram storyย in a place that looks like Ballycastle, in County Antrim. Check it out:

Ballycastle has been used in the show quite a few times, and has also stood in as the Free Cities before. Another crew member, Bennett Clarke, Emiliaโs older brother, who is a camera trainee on the show, put up a picture around the same area:
Meanwhile Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) were spotted at the Belfast airport:

Lastly, Hafรพรณr Jรบlรญus Bjรถrnsson (The Mountain) is also in Ireland:
