The Game Of Thrones season eight trailer has finally given fans something to get excited about with the mother of all battles and big trouble for Arya Stark.
It comes just over a month before the release date and after two symbolic teasers – one of fire and ice battling over Westeros and another in the Winterfell crypt – that didn’t actually contain any new footage.
But that’s all changed with this footage, and poor Arya seems to be going through hell.
She says: ‘I know death. It’s got many faces. I look forward to seeing this one.’
Elsewhere Daenerys and Jon ride into battle side by side, and Sansa Stark gets a good look at the dragons.
And it looks like Jaime’s made the transition into full on good guy as he declares: ‘I promised to fight for the living, I intend to keep that promise’.
There seems to be a couple of epic battles taking place this season, with various characters, including Jaime, Jorah, Pod and Brienne lining up to face off against the White Walkers who pop up towards the end of the trailer.
The huge battle sequences teased in the trailer, which are going to be breathtaking for us to watch, were physically and mentally draining for everyone involved.
Maisie Williams, who plays Arya explained: ‘It’s night after night, and again and again, and it just doesn’t stop.
‘You can’t get sick, and you have to look out for yourself because there’s so much to do that nobody else can do… there are moments you’re just broken as a human and just want to cry.’
Her co-star Iain Glen, who plays Jorah, agreed calling the shoot ‘really miserable’.
‘You get to sleep at seven in the morning and when you wake in the midday you’re still so spent you can’t really do anything, and then you’re back,’ he told Entertainment Weekly.
‘You have no life outside it. You have an absolute fucked bunch of actors.
‘But without getting too method [acting] about it, on screen it bleeds through to the reality of the Thrones world.’
Meanwhile Lena Headey, who plays Cersei, previously admitted that the cast are ‘ready’ to move on to pastures new.
‘It’s the end. It’s the eighth season, which is bonkers. I feel totally chuffed…’ she told Good Morning America.
‘I think everyone’s ready to kind of do new stuff. But I think until it’s over-over, I won’t know how I feel.’
Game Of Thrones returns to Sky Atlantic and NOW TV on 15 April.
