As writer James Hibbered describes of the set, 'I look around at a meticulously constructed set that I’ve never seen on the show before. What EW describes is an expanded set of Winterfell that is something like a theme park, bigger than ever, in order to accommodate the biggest battle scene ever put on television. HBO didn't go for the theater idea, but they did give the guys a massive, movie-sized budget to pull off this final season. Their idea was to make a six-hour, two-part movie that HBO would put in theaters. And it sounds like they absolutely did that.Īll the way back in 2012, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss were outlining what they would do with a final season, according to the EW report. One thing is certain: They wanted to make these last episodes really goddamn big. In November of 2018, EW published some of the first details about the last six episodes in its new cover story. She seems to be surprisingly polite-or at least doing a good job faking it-when she tells Daenerys: 'Winterfell is yours, your grace.' Jon and Dany are standing pretty close to each other, suggesting that they're still romantically involved even though they're related (which they may or may not know at this point). The clip shows Sansa greeting Jon and Daenerys in Winterfell.

Though this footage only includes five full seconds of Season Eight, it's still enough to tide fans over until a full trailer drops. And during the Golden Globes in early January of 2019, the premium network shared the first actual footage of the coming new season. The eighth and final season will officially premiere April 14, which HBO announced today.

Although over 500 days have elapsed since the conclusion of Game of Thrones Season Seven, I assure you that the show will continue sooner rather than later.
