The first teaser trailer has been revealed for Game Of Thrones season 8 episode 6 – the grand finale of the hit fantasy franchise. Check it out below. Last night’s penultimate episode escalated the drama as Daenerys burnt King’s landing to the ground, leaving chaos in her wake. Reviewing the episode, NME concluded: “There were a lot of fun moments in ‘The Bells’, be it the sudden, brutal demise of Qyburn or the competing loyalties of the Stark, Unsullied and Lannister forces, but again Game of Thrones’ visuals were under-served by the accompanying dialogue. This episode was a nadir in this sense, reaching the point where it almost felt like characters literally couldn’t think of words to say to each other at times (and at these most crucial of times! ).

I think this must be the first time in the show’s history where I’m desperate for Sansa to be back in the mix.” Now, the latest teaser trailer for the final episode shows Daenerys set to come face-to-face with the characters who survived. Fans are currently going into overdrive with theories of how it will all end. Meanwhile, George R.R. Martin has said he’d have preferred it if HBO had depicted Game of Thrones in the exact same way he’d written the novels that the show is based upon. While it seems like everyone in the world is in love with Game of Thrones and can’t get enough of its final season, it appears as though George R.R. Martin has a few reservations about how the show ended up being adapted from his A Song of Ice and Fire novels. Advertisement Speaking to Rolling Stone, he was asked about why Sansa’s story deviated from the books and whether he ever got emotional about studio changes. “Well, yeah – of course you have an emotional reaction,” he answered. “I mean, would I prefer they do it exactly the way I did it? Sure. But I’ve been on the other side of it, too. I’ve adapted work by other people, and I didn’t do it exactly the way they did it, so….”<doc-sep>WARNING: Game of Thrones season 8, episode 5 spoilers directly below. Well that was all a bit stressful, wasn’t it? Daenerys wreaked untold death and destruction upon King’s Landing, just as many fans expected she would, in Game of Thrones’ penultimate episode, and the final fight for the throne lost some of its major players. Now, after eight years of hacking and slashing and staring moodily into the middle distance, we have the final trailer. Fans won’t be able to draw much from it – it’s the shortest we’ve had so far – but we get to see the Mad Queen gazing over the ruins of her new kingdom, Arya and Tyrion walking around looking very concerned, and a group of Dothraki raising their scimitars in the air. The 80-minute finale, written and directed by creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, airs next week. Until then, here’s everything that the Game of Thrones cast have said about the finale.

Game of Thrones season eight, episode six will be the show’s series finale. The trailer for it doesn’t reveal a lot — but it does suggest that there will be a reckoning for the events of episode five, “The Bells.” First things first: Spoilers follow below. The episode six teaser confirms that at least three major characters — Arya, Daenerys, and Tyrion — survived the destruction of King’s Landing, as it focuses on them walking around in the ashes (Jon, Davos, and Grey Worm aren’t shown, but they likely survived as well). The trailer is washed over with a dark blue tone and ash falling like snow; it has an almost wintry feel to it, as if a terrible kind of winter has come to King’s Landing. Tyrion appears horrified at what he sees in the city. Arya looks ready to turn on Dany — the trailer shows her standing by some Unsullied with murder in her eyes. And Daenerys seems unwaveringly regal, walking between lines of her soldiers as if she’s proud of the massacre she just committed. There’s also a shot of Dothraki cheering, as if they too are happy with what’s just happened. Everything we see suggests that Game of Thrones’ series finale will focus on the divide created by Daenerys’s actions in the penultimate episode, with most of the main characters seemingly turning against her in horror, and the warriors who crossed the Narrow Sea with her standing by her side. The conflict is no longer Starks versus Lannisters or humans versus undead, but rather our surviving heroes versus Daenerys Targaryen, the Mad Queen.
