First look: HBO releases footage from Game Of Thrones season 8

2 min read

It’s the tiniest preview ever – but we’ll take what we can get!

Fans have been breathlessly awaiting the new (and final) season of record-breaking TV hit Game Of Thrones, scheduled to air in the first half 2019.

And US network HBO has teased the new series during a surprise video that aired in the US on Sunday night.

The trailer teased the cable network’s 2019 line-up of shows – and while a few Game Of Thrones scenes were lifted from season seven – there was one shot that was brand new.

The shot, depicting Jon Snow (Kit Harington) hugging his on-screen sister Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), was initially mistaken for old footage from their Castle Black reunion – but the shot is in fact from their forthcoming reunion at Winterfell.

The final season of Game Of Thrones will have six episodes, with it’s early-2019 air date making the series eligible for Emmy nomination. A previous rumour the episodes had been ‘delayed’ was debunked by the network, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The trailer also gives glimpses from the third season of True Detective, and Meryl Streep’s new role on the second season of Big Little Lies.

Guess we’ll be living in the loungeroom next year!
