Game of Thrones promises death, deception & dragons in Season 8 trailer

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

"They're coming. Our enemy doesn't tire, doesn't stop, doesn't feel. I promise to fight for the living, and I intend to keep that promise," says Kit Harington's Jon Snow in the new trailer … and now I have chills. Literal chills. Whose body is ready for this? Who among you is prepared for the end?

After teasing a final battle that is sure to go down as one of the greatest in television history, HBO's GAME OF THRONES has unleashed a new and epic trailer for its eighth and final season! In the trailer, we find the remaining members of the Stark family gathering their forces as they prepare to square off against the Night King, his resurrected dragon, those who've pledged their allegiance to Cersei Lannister, and every other cursed thing that hopes to breach the Wall at the Seven Kingdom’s northern border.

Each of the final six episodes is expected to clock in at around 90 minutes in length, more or less offering fans a feature-length presentation with each chapter. The final season of GAME OF THRONES is set to launch via HBO services on April 14th.

Who do you think will sit upon the Iron Throne once all is said and done? Who among the Starks do you think will drive a blade through Cersei Lannister's black heart? Will the Night King succeed in adding every last denizen of the Seven Kingdoms to his army of the dead, or will Jon Snow reduce him to nothing but blood and ice cubes? Let us hear your theories in the comments section below!
