The wait is over.

Winter will arrive on 14 April.

Since the end of Season 7 in August 2017, fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the eighth and final season.

Co-creator David Benioff explained that the delay was due to the immense scale of the new season. 

To mark the announcement, a tantalizing new teaser has been released, entitled Crypts of Winterfell. 

In the atmospheric teaser, we see Jon Snow, Sansa Stark, and Arya Stark walk cautiously through a crypt, hearing the voices of their dead family members. Then suddenly, they realize an icy presence creeping up on them and they draw their weapons.



Interested to know what happens in this new season? Director David Nutter has revealed some tidbits in his Reddit AMA.

The 6-episode series will air on Sundays at 9 pm ET, beginning from 14 April.
