The release of the new trailer is one of many ways in which HBO is celebrating “GoT’s” legacy during its month-long tribute to the David Benioff- and Dan Weiss-created series’ 2011 debut - and ramping up excitement for the upcoming spinoff series, “House of the Dragon,” which will begin production this year. But don’t say we didn’t warn you that it could feel like a twist of the Dragonglass knife.Īlso Read: 'Game of Thrones' Reunion Special Hosted by Conan O'Brien Is Now Streaming on HBO Max

Then again, maybe the edit will help block out any bad memories you have about the series finale.Įither way, you can watch the new “Game of Thrones” Season 8 trailer via the video above. Yes, a re-cut trailer for the divisive Season 8 may seem like pouring salt in the wounds of fans who didn’t care for those six episodes and how the story ended.

on HBO.HBO released a new trailer for the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” late Tuesday, in honor of the 10th anniversary - aka the “Iron Anniversary” - of the show’s series premiere. Game of Thrones Season 8 premieres Sunday, April 14 at 9 p.m. So, prepare for the silent, deadly threat of the Night King to possibly take out one or more of your favorite characters - or at least try. “Anything the Night King says diminishes him,” Benioff said to EW. While we don’t know exactly how it will end for the Night King or those opposing him, we do know one thing: He won’t speak during Season 8. It’s the use of “also” that suggests Jon isn’t the Night King’s target, but will he succeed in killing the person who is and get that revenge? “There’s also that moment when Jon Snow was on the boat and the Night King looked at him and raised his arms - there’s a similar and even stronger moment between Jon and the Night King this time,” the actor said. If you think that character is Jon Snow, however, you might be wrong. It’s likely that at least several characters (major or minor) will die because of the Night King, meaning he will likely get “what he wants.” He will, in a way, serve his purpose.īut there may be a bit more to the Night King, as Vladimir Furdik told EW that his character “wants revenge” and “has a target he wants to kill” in Season 8. It’s just not possible, especially on a show like Game of Thrones. A lot of characters are going to die in Season 8, and not everyone is going to survive this upcoming battle. The Season 8 trailer offers a look at some fight scenes, presumably from that big battle, and it even ends with the Night King’s arrival at Winterfell. Leaks suggest it’s happening in Episode 3. We know there’s a big battle episode coming up in the final season of Game of Thrones. However, that doesn’t mean there can’t be a link, either. After all, one is a tease for Season 8, and the other is simply part of who a character is. Now, those two comments may be unrelated. What’s even more disconcerting is Maisie Williams telling EW “there’s a lot of death this year.” That doesn’t bode well for those about to face the Night King and his army in Winterfell. It’s why he was created and that’s what he’s after.” “And that’s what he wants - for all of us. “I don’t think of him as evil, I think of him as Death,” showrunner David Benioff told Entertainment Weekly of the Night King. Light spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8 below. The Army of the Dead is ready to do even more damage after bringing down the wall, but no matter what he does, the Night King has to lose, right? Maybe not, according to several new interviews with the cast and crew of Game of Thrones Season 8. HBO is keeping much of what happens in Game of Thrones Season 8 a secret, but we do know the Night King and his forces are looming large.
