This Isn’t The First Time ‘Game Of Thrones’ Had A Coffee Cup Error

There were plenty of surprises in the latest episode of HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones including two major deaths but the moment that took Twitter by storm Sunday night was when fans spotted a Starbucks coffee cup on the table in front of Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen at Winterfell. But what might come as a surprise is that this wasn’t the first time a Coffee cup was spotted in the series.

Back in 2014, eagle-eyed fans spotted a coffee cup in a behind-the-scenes featurette for the fourth season episode “The Lion And The Rose.” During the filming of the Purple Wedding in which Joffrey Baratheon married Margaery Tyrell, members of the cast could be seen off camera including Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jamie Lannister, with a craft services coffee cup in hand. The shot itself has been commonly mistaken amongst fans as a shot from the episode itself.

HBO has since issued an official statement on the latest coffee cup incident from this past Sunday’s episode, poking a little fun at the mistake before ultimately erasing the cup from the episode premium cabler.

“In response to inquiries from those who saw a craft services coffee cup in Sunday night’s episode of GAME OF THRONES, HBO states, “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake.  Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.””

David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill have written the final six episodes which have been directed by David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik, with Benioff and Weiss helming the series finale. Benioff and Weiss returned to executive produce the final season alongside Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger and Bernadette Caulfield, with Bryan Cogman, Guymon Casady, Vince Gerardis and George R.R. Martin serving as co-executive producers.

While the series is coming to an end, Game of Thrones will be followed by a prequel spin-off which is expected to premiere as early as 2020 and stars Naomi Watts and Josh Whitehouse (Poldark). Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Shella Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo. S.J. Clarkson will direct the series pilot.
