So, the final season of Game of Thrones is almost here.
The six-episode season eight will debut on April 14 in North America, and in the verrrry early hours of April 15 in Ireland the UK.
And while there aren’t many details yet on what is going to be happening (OK, there are no details), we do know one thing: it’s going to be incredibly emotional once it does end.
To get fans even more excited for the final season, HBO have been releasing a number of teasers – although the latest one has us a bit nervous.
It is called Aftermath, and it manages to pack a lot into just 60 seconds.
It begins with the remains of a House Stark flag flying in the wind, before the camera pans across a number of items from the show’s history – possibly hinting at what may be coming up for some characters.
Jamie Lannister’s golden hand can be seen in the snow, and Tyrion’s Hand of the Queen pin is seen on a ledge.
Daenerys’ chain is lying in the snow, as well as a Dragonglass arrow – and it ends with a focus on Jon Snow’s sword, Longclaw, lying among the ruins.

The episodes will be broadcast on Sunday’s at 9pm EST in the United States and Canada, or 9pm on Mondays on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in Ireland and the UK.
Unless you’re willing to stay up into the early hours of Monday morning, as season 8 will be simulcast.
A spokesperson for Sky has confirmed that Game of Thrones’ final season will be airing at the same time as it is broadcast on HBO in North America.
Yes, this means that it will all be beginning very early in the morning. The live simulcast of the first episode will kick off at 2am on April 15, if we’re being exact.
If you’re not up for staying up super late/getting up super early, the episode will also be airing on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV at 9pm that evening.
Either way, it can’t get here quick enough.
