Game of Thrones – Season 8 is HERE!

It seems ages since the penultimate season but the wait is now over and here we are with the final season of Game Of Thrones. This series promises to be an absolute spectacle. The six final feature-length episodes which, have been reported to be the most complex sequences ever filmed for television and are promised to be the best ever in this fantasy epic. Let’s hope it lives up to its promises.

The budget

With a reported budget of $90 million (£69 million) for this season it makes the show the most expensive TV series of all time. This is despite this upcoming season has the fewest episodes. It has been reported that his doesn’t hold back on dragons, direwolves and Night King induced death like nothing before!

It must be pointed out that although this season has only six episodes, some of them will be much longer than the one hour slot they’ve occupied in previous seasons.

Apart from Melisandre, the Red Woman, all the main cast members have returned for this final series so far. However, because this is Game of Thrones we can never be sure who’ll survive so we’ll have to watch it until the very end!

As we move through this season we’ll see some of our favourite characters returning. These will include Gwendoline Christie (Brienne), Maisie Williams (Arya), Liam Cunningham (Davos), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Sophie Turner (Sansa) and Ghost, Jon Snow’s faithful albino direwolf…
