HBO aired the Game of Thrones series finale just under two weeks ago, and now, the home video version is ready for its close-up.
Or at least the Digital Download version is. There will surely be a Blu-ray home boxset for season 8 down the line, and then a complete series boxset after that. But for now, it’s all about the 1s and 0s.
The Digital Download version of the season will include all six episodes, plus the season 8 behind-the-scenes documentary, The Last Watch. According to HBO’s press release, it will also include a couple of new features:
- The Final Season: Join the cast and crew of Game of Thrones as they reflect on the final season of HBO’s epic, Emmy(R)-winning series. Interviews include show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with stars Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Kit Harington, and many others.
- The Long Night: “The Long Night” indeed. Join Game of Thrones show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss along with many of the major stars and behind-the-scenes players as they look back at the colossal filming that was the Battle of Winterfell in Season 8, episode 3. This special spotlights the weaponry, lighting, special effects and more that went into the making of this unforgettable episode.
HBO is careful to point out that this extra content is only available with “participating partners,” so check carefully depending on where you download.
It’s weird knowing that this is the last “boxset” for the series. I’ll just continue living in a state of denial until it’s no longer feasible.
