In the video, a glimpse of the much-anticipated final season of Game of Thrones is shown along with sneak peeks of other series such as Big Little Lies, True Detective, Watchmen, Euphoria, Veep and Barry
A brief segment of the new footage shows Game of Thrones characters Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) arriving in Winterfell. It also the moment when Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) meets Daenerys the first time. Sansa is seen saying to Daenerys, “Winterfell is yours, your grace.”
Entertainment Weekly reported that Season 8 of Game of Thrones would open with an episode that contained plenty of callbacks to the show’s pilot. What follows is a thrilling and tense intermingling of characters as they prepare to face the inevitable invasion of the Army of the Dead.
