The first teaser, released back in August, included roughly two seconds of new footage. Jon and Arya draw their swords as a thick, icy fog draws towards them, and then it cuts to black.
Suddenly their torches go out, and the tunnel is overcome by frost. Jon joins Sansa and Arya at the end of the crypt, where they are met by their own statues. Not that we’d every have expected otherwise. “You might not have my name, but you have my blood.”Īll of this points to Jon’s true parentage – that he is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark – being a huge storyline in the final season. We see Jon stop in front of the statue of Ned, and we hear words Sean Bean’s character spoke back in season 1. Next Sansa walks past her mother, Catelyn, and Catelyn’s voice says: “All this horror that’s come to my family, it’s all because I couldn’t love a motherless child.”Ĭatelyn says this to Robb’s wife Talisa back in season 3, referring to Jon, who she believes is her husband’s bastard son, rather than her nephew and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. This is what Lyanna tells her brother, Ned, when she hands Jon over to him on her deathbed. The clip shows Jon, Sansa and Arya walking through the crypt of Winterfell, past the statues of the dead Stark relatives.įirst, we see Jon walk past Lyanna, his mother (although Jon doesn’t know that yet), and we hear Lyanna’s voice say: “You have to protect him.” Sansa’s words are a call back to the very first episode of the show, when her father Ned Stark uttered the same phrase to his good friend Robert Baratheon, who travelled to Winterfell to name him Hand of the King.Īnother teaser released late on 13 January to announce the official start date includes almost two minutes of brand new footage, though none of it will be seen in season 8. “Winterfell is yours, your grace,” Sansa tells Dany, suggesting she has accepted the Mother of Dragons and Jon Snow’s new beau as her queen. On 6 January HBO released a trailer for all its big shows coming back this year, from Game of Thrones to True Detective and Big Little Lies.ĭuring that medley we got to see Sansa Stark welcoming Daenerys to her home in the North. Does this mean something has happened to the baby, if there ever was one in the first place?īefore the proper trailer we were given a few teasers, though they included the sum total of roughly seven seconds of footage from season 8 proper. Drinking is normal for Cersei of course, but at the end of season 7 she turned down a drink while talking with Tyrion because she was seemingly pregnant. The Queen, dressed in the lighter colours we’ve not seen her in since the early season, looks tearful and she goes to drink from a glass of wine. We get a passionate kiss between Grey Worm and Missandei, and Jaime reiterating the fact he intends to fight for the living, but the most intriguing scene involves his sister, Cersei. Surely Jon is going to ride Rhaegal in season 8? Other goosebump-inducing moments show Jon and Daenerys riding into battle together, and later approaching Drogon and Rhaegal north of the Wall. The trailer then confirms that Euron did indeed go to collect the Golden Company from Essos – we see them sailing back across the narrow see on Greyjoy ships – and also that Tormund and Beric Dondarrion are still alive. “I know death, he’s got many faces,” she says. We hear her speaking over the top of the scene, in a much calmer manner.
Fans are speculating that it may be the raised Stark dead from the crypts of Winterfell. Nothing scares Arya these days, so whatever it is must be god damn terrifying.
#CEPSTRAL VOICES ACTIVATION FULL#
It starts with Arya sprinting full pelt away from… something. There is! HBO finally released the actual, proper, bona fide, bells-on season 8 trailer on Tuesday 5 March, and it contains around two minutes of brand new footage! If HBO airs the six episodes every Sunday without breaks, that puts the long-awaited finale on 19 May. A repeat will then show on the same channel at 9pm on the Monday. As always, the episodes will air at 2am on Sky Atlantic in the UK, meaning we can watch live with fans in the US.
