Earlier this month, HBO released a two-minute long trailer promising drama from the get go.

While Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) worried fans as she ran for her life,  we also got the first glimpse at the Golden Company army Cersei has recruited to help defend her throne.

Creators David Benioff and DB Weiss previously revealed that the show will come full circle with a call back to the very first episode way back in season one

The opening shot in season eight episode one will tease the start of a huge fight across Westeros, much like the beginning of season one did.

The pair teased to Entertainment Weekly that season eight will kick off with Daenerys arriving at Winterfell with her armies to face off against the White Walkers.

Game of Thrones returns 14 April at 9pm on HBO.
