The excitement for Game Of Thrones just ramped a little higher with the release of the final trailer ahead of the series.
Fans finally got a proper look at season eight with the new footage, following two cryptic teasers showing fire and ice battling over Westeros as well as a clip in the Winterfell crypt.
There really isn’t too much longer to wait now until we finally get to see the final series for ourselves.
So when is it actually going to be on screens?
When does Game Of Thrones start on Sky Atlantic?
Stick the date in your diaries folks, as the eighth and final series of Game Of Thrones kicks off on Sky Atlantic in the early hours of 15 April.
It debuts on 14 April in the US on HBO, but will be simulcast with the UK – meaning we’ll get the first episode around 2am on Monday morning.
If you don’t feel like staying up to herald in the new Thrones, you can catch it on Sky Atlantic later that night at the more civilised hour of 9pm.
How many episodes are in the new series?
Here’s the bad news. Unlike previous series of the show this one will be much shorter, with only six episodes rounding things off for good.
However the episodes are likely to be longer than previous ones, meaning you’ll still get as much action as you’re used to.
We still don’t know a whole lot about the series, but you can expect some pretty epic battles, including one battle scene which left everybody drained.
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.’
Co-star Iain Glen agreed, telling 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.’
