New Game Of Thrones Season 8 Teaser Points To An Epic Showdown

HBO has released a new teaser for the upcoming eighth and final season of the network's acclaimed fantasy drama Game of Thrones. Disappointingly, the video doesn't actually contain any new footage. Instead, it serves more as a mood piece, featuring a a frosty direwolf and a frozen dragon, along with a burning lion. You can put the pieces together and probably theorise as to what that may mean.

You can check out the full teaser below.

Game of Thrones Season 8 is set to premiere in April 2019, and the final season will have a number of "surprises and shocking moments." What we do already know is that the season will mirror the beginning of Season 1 in some capacity.

In addition to the final season, HBO is producing a reunion special featuring Sean Bean and other former and current Game of Thrones cast members.

While Game of Thrones is ending, HBO is producing a spin-off that begins production in 2019. Naomi Watts is set to play one of the leads, while more casting details have also come to light.
