Winter is here.
Were you hoping that the Super Bowl would be graced by some fire and ice? What about the series finale of True Detective? You may have stayed up in the hope that we would finally be getting a full look at the highly-anticipated trailer.
Well, after being teased with The Painted Table in Dragonstone and the crypts in Winterfell, we’ve finally been given out first look at The Great War.
Ok, what does Season 8 have in store? Well…
The alliance of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen vs The Night King and his army of the dead.
The revelation of Jon/Aegon Targaryen’s true parentage and the fact that he’s the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. That conversation with his aunt is bound to be interesting.
The war for the Iron Throne as Cersei desperately clings to power.
Jaime Lannister’s ongoing bid for redemption as he betrays his House and the woman he loves.
Tyrion’s unease as he watches Jon Snow and Daenerys get closer and closer.
Sansa Stark growing in power as the Lady of Winterfell.
Arya Stark continuing her deadly training as she becomes the most fearsome killer in Westeros.
The Three-Eyed Raven deciphering the mysteries of the White Walkers and the history of the Seven Kingdoms as his powers grow.
Bronn’s bid for a castle (we really hope he gets it), Cleganebowl, the romance between Tormund and Brienne (we’ll riot of they don’t have any monster babies that take over the world), and the biggest battle in the history of TV and film.
Game of Thrones returns on 14 April and you can watch every single episode on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.
Remember, valar morghulis.
