A Game of Thrones Documentary is Coming
By Flora / 01 Apr 2019 (Monday)
The special feature documentary, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH will debut on Monday, 27 May, one week after the series finale.
We are weeks away till the final season of hit fantasy series ‘Game Of Thrones’ hits our screens and HBO has announced that it will be airing a two-hour documentary about the filming of the final season.
Made with unprecedented access, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH is an up-close and personal report from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers. The documentary delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland.
Much more than a “making of” documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it.
Acclaimed British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay who is directing the documentary, was embedded on the Game Of Thrones set, chronicling the creation of the show’s most ambitious and complicated season. His previous credits include the documentaries “Seahorse,” “Orion: The Man Who Would Be King,” “Pantomime,” “The Great Hip Hop Hoax”, etc.
The eighth and final season of GAME OF THRONES will debut in Asia same time as the U.S. on Monday, 15 April at 9am, with a same day encore at 10pm. The series will also be available on HBO On Demand. New episodes will premiere every Monday at the same time.
