Warning: full SPOILERS for Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 3 “The Long Night”!
Even though Arya Stark seemingly killed the Night King, shattering him into ice and causing all of his forces to crumble, the threat of the White Walkers may not be gone, according to Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy asked if we are for sure done with the White Walkers after the events of “The Long Night,” and Benioff responded, “Yeah, we’re not going to answer that.”
This curious response suddenly opens the door to the possibility that the threat of the White Walkers remains. Perhaps destroying the Night King isn’t as easy as one Valyrian steel stab to the tummy. He is a powerful magical entity, after all, so what if he can reconstitute himself? Maybe they’re going by Warcraft’s Lich King rules and there must always be a Night King, meaning Arya unknowingly inherited his powers and will become the Night Queen. We know so little about the Night King and the White Walkers that it’s hard to say exactly how their threat could remain, but in a show known for mind-blowing twists, anything could happen.
