'Game of Thrones' Season 8 might see Benjen Stark return to save the Stark children one last time

Uncle Benjen has been the unsung hero of the show even with his limited appearances, enough to make him a fan favorite.
PUBLISHED APR 7, 2019

Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle) left fans wondering about the lost Stark's fate when, at the end of Season 7, he sacrificed his life in order to save Jon Snow (Kit Harrington). But did he really sacrifice himself, though? We did see him being grabbed by the flock of White Walkers as he let Jon escape with his horse while he stood firm trying to divert their attention from him. However, chances are that Benjen Stark, the youngest brother of Ned Stark (Sean Bean), is not yet done with his story and we might just see him return for more in Season 8.

Benjen has time and again acted like the hidden guardian of the Stark children, coming more than often to their rescue. However, he is one character who seemed to have been lost from the main events for the longest time.
