The more we learn about life on a Game of Thrones set, the more we can appreciate everything that went into creating that on-screen grittiness.
Sophie Turner, Emilia Clarke and Liam Cunningham recently talked about their experiences on Game of Thrones, with Clarke discussing the complex emotions she feels to be leaving the show behind, Cunningham hyping the new season, and Turner dishing on the not-so-stellar hygiene she had to adopt. A maid with purple serpents in her hair, indeed!
We discuss the epic sea battle and all of “Stormborn” on this week’s episode!
The Night’s Cast, the official podcast of Watchers on the Wall, keeps on truckin’ with our discussion of Season 7, and this time we’re talking Episode 2, “Stormborn.”
Tapestry by Bubug
An interesting new Game of Thrones promo has surfaced over the last few days, never before seen by fans. While the entirely animated video holds no season 8 material (all quotes are from earlier seasons) and we’ve not been able to confirm its official status, the beautifully crafted promo was made by Mirari, a company who has worked with HBO Asia on previous teasers. The video features the animated creation of a tapestry, using artwork by artist Bubug. It’s noted on Bubug’s Deviantart page that the illustration was made by them “for Mirari + Co for the Tapestry – Game of Thrones 2019 promotion.”
What better way to remember your time on Game of Thrones than a life-sized statue of yourself?
We know from previous news stories that actors from Game of Thrones have taken home various mementos from the show — Maisie Williams took home the Ned Stark-esque brown leather jacket from Season 7, for example. Kit Harington has expressed a desire to keep Longclaw once the series ends, although the showrunners have become less than willing to part with it. So maybe a life-sized statue will fill the void instead?
HBO gifted us not only with the premiere date last night, but also this haunting teaser.
Lately the hits just keep on coming for Season 8 of Game of Thrones — five seconds of new footage last week, and the premiere date (April 14th) paired with an eye-popping (largely unexpected) teaser for the final season this week!
Tonight, as promised, HBO unveiled the long-awaited premiere date of Game of Thrones season 8- and a new teaser! The teaser dropped just ahead of the third season premiere of True Detective starring Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali, tonight at 9PM ET. The “Crypts of Winterfell” delivers spooky hints of things to come for House Stark, and confirms that Season 8 will hit our television screens starting on April 14, 2019!
We have been waiting more than a year for season eight and we still have to wait a tiny bit more… but how much more, exactly? I, for one, cannot take this excruciating limbo for any second longer than necessary. Though we do know the final season is coming back to our screens on April, a return to the classic Game of Thrones premiere month, beyond that we have no clue, and we won’t… until this Sunday, that is! What a twist!
To ring in the new year, Watchers on the Wall offered up a sweet collection of Game of Thrones merch featuring the beloved House Stark. The deadline has passed, we’ve gathered up heaps and heaps of entries from excited fans, and it’s time to find out who’s taking home the goodies. And this giveaway has THREE winners, remember! Are you one of them?
In the final days of filming Game of Thrones, Kit Harington (Jon Snow) received a visit from GQ, to discuss and reflect on his time over the show’s soon to be historic 8 season run. “The last season of Thrones seemed to be designed to break us,” says Kit. And it’s a fitting start to the interview – no one in the cast has wielded a sword more often, or spent more days on and off set preparing for battle after battle than Kit (Don’t @ me, fact-checkers). “Everyone was broken at the end. I don’t know if we were crying because we were sad it was ending or if we were crying because it was so fucking tiring. We were sleep deprived. It was like it was designed to make you think, Right, I’m fucking sick of this….I’ll miss it one day – but I’m done.”
You could cut the tension with Longclaw in this clip!
With a five-second clip of new footage to salivate over, the realm is going wild on the internet about what’s in store for Season 8 of Game of Thrones — and The Night’s Cast, the official podcast of Watchers on the Wall, isn’t one to shy away from over-analyses and speculation!
