Game of Thrones fans will soon be looking forward to the start of the new, already 8th season of their favorite series. The latter comes to the screens with a bitter aftertaste, as it will also be the last.
Here is everything you need to know before the 8th season of the popular series Game of Thrones.
When does it come out?
According to Maisie Williams, who portrays Arya Stark in the series, the first episode will be released in April 2019.
Has the recording finished yet?
Yes, the shooting started on October 23, 2017 and ended in July this year.
Who wrote the script?
The series, which is based on the novels by George RR Martin, will be filmed according to the events of the books "The Winds of Winter" and "A Dream of Spring". Screenwriters David Benioff and DB Weiss received summaries of the currently unpublished books from the author.
How many episodes are we expecting?
The creators are preparing a slightly shorter season with only 6 episodes. There is no need to fear, because the episodes will be significantly longer than their predecessors. They will last more than 60 minutes.
What do we know about filming?
The film crew did everything to keep the details under wraps. Among other things, they used a device that knocked out of the sky all the drones that were circling the filming area without permission.
What will the start be like?
The action of the first episode of the eighth season, as in the first part of the opening season, is set in Winterfell, where Daenerys Targaryen arrives with her army. The characters, who until now had little in common, will prepare together for a clash with the army of the dead.
What upheavals await us?
The creators of Game of Thrones have always been able to surprise the audience, so it is a mistake to think that this will not be the case this time. Information about the plots in the last season has not yet leaked to the public. We believe without a doubt that the series will be full of bloody and dramatic scenes.
How will the final fight unfold?
The director's assistant Jonathan Quinlan believes that the final showdown between the people of Westeros and the White Walkers will be absolutely magnificent. On Instagram, he posted a now-deleted photo of a thank-you letter addressed to the cast, which shows that they spent 55 nights filming the final scene.
Will there be new members joining the cast?
In Season 8, Game of Thrones will premiere the German actor Marc Rissmann, who will portray Harry Strickland. In the books, the latter has the role of the leader of the Golden Company army, made up of mercenaries.
Who will survive and who will die?
Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) hinted in one of the interviews that his character will probably not live to see the end of the series. Scottish actor Iain Glen, in contrast, claims that his Ser Jorah is one of the few who will manage to survive. We cannot attach much value to their words, so the fate of the characters will have to wait for now.
Is the Spirit Returning?
It has been confirmed that Jon Snow's loyal companion will be seen again. The wolf is said to play a prominent role in Game of Thrones season 8.
