At King's Landing, Euron returns from Essos with the Golden Company and entices Cersei to consummate their union. On Cersei's orders, Qyburn hires Bronn to assassinate Tyrion and Jaime. Theon rescues Yara, who then sets out to retake the Iron Islands, while Theon returns to Winterfell. At Winterfell, Jon reunites with Bran and Arya, and later learns to ride Rhaegal. Sam meets Daenerys who reveals that she executed his father and brother. After Sam and Jon are reunited, Sam tells Jon his true identity is Aegon Targaryen, king and rightful heir to the Iron Throne. At House Umber's seat of Last Hearth, Tormund and Beric encounter Edd and other Night's Watch members. They find the castle's occupants dead and Ned Umber's body used as a gruesome message from the Night King. Jaime arrives at Winterfell where Bran is awaiting him. | |||||||

| Jaime reveals Cersei's deception to the Targaryen–Stark alliance and, despite Daenerys's and Sansa's mistrust, joins their forces after Brienne defends his loyalty. Jaime later apologizes to Bran for crippling him, with Bran stating he is not angry, and they are no longer the same people. Tyrion loses Daenerys' favor for believing Cersei, prompting Jorah to ask her to forgive his mistakes. Citing their mutual love for Jon, Daenerys tries and fails to gain Sansa's trust after refusing to give any assurances about the North's fate. Theon, Edd, Tormund, and Beric arrive at Winterfell, with the latter three reporting House Umber's fall. Bran proposes that he lure out the Night King, who intends to destroy the Three-Eyed Raven. His plan is reluctantly approved, with Theon and the Ironborn offering protection. Gendry finishes a special weapon for Arya, who then seduces him. Tyrion, Jaime, Davos, Brienne, Podrick, and Tormund gather for a drink, during which Jaime formally knights Brienne. Jorah fails to dissuade Lyanna Mormont from fighting, and he receives House Tarly's ancestral sword as a gift from Sam. As the Army of the Dead approaches, Daenerys finds Jon at Lyanna Stark's tomb where he reveals to her his Targaryen lineage and claim to the Iron Throne. | |||||||

| The Living Army meets the Army of the Dead outside Winterfell. The Dothraki are obliterated first, then the Unsullied are overwhelmed. Edd is killed after saving Sam. The survivors retreat into the castle while Melisandre ignites the defensive fire trench surrounding Winterfell to delay the advancing horde. Jon and Daenerys engage the Night King on their dragons. The wights invade Winterfell, overpowering the defenders and killing Lyanna Mormont. Beric dies defending Arya, who Melisandre helps realize her destiny to deny the God of Death on that day. Jon and Rhaegal knock the Night King off Viserion; Daenerys commands Drogon to burn him, but dragon fire has no effect. The Night King raises slain Winterfell defenders, including the dead entombed in the crypt where Tyrion, Sansa, Varys, Missandei, Gilly and the other sheltering civilians are attacked. When swarming wights pull Daenerys from Drogon, Jorah dies defending her. The Night King arrives at the Godswood for Bran and kills Theon. Arya ambushes the Night King, stabbing him with her Valyrian steel dagger. The Night King and his White Walkers disintegrate, and Viserion and the wights collapse. Her purpose served, Melisandre leaves Winterfell and falls dead from old age. | |||||||

| The North mourn their dead, burning them on funeral pyres. During a somber feast, Daenerys legitimizes Gendry as a Baratheon, and names him Lord of Storm's End. Arya declines Gendry's marriage proposal. Jaime and Brienne become lovers. To protect her position as queen, Daenerys asks Jon to conceal his true parentage. Bronn arrives to kill Jaime and Tyrion, but spares them in exchange for Highgarden. Daenerys wants to immediately attack King's Landing, but her war council disagrees. Jon reveals his Targaryen claim to Sansa and Arya, swearing them to secrecy. Wanting Jon as king, Sansa tells Tyrion, who informs Varys. Arya and the Hound leave Winterfell together, heading south. Tormund tells Jon that he and the Wildlings will return north. Daenerys and her fleet set sail for King's Landing, while Jon leads the Northern army. Euron Greyjoy ambushes the fleet at Dragonstone, killing Rhaegal with a more powerful "scorpion" weapon, and capturing Missandei. Daenerys considers seizing King's Landing using dragon fire. Varys and Tyrion debate whether Jon or Daenerys is a better ruler. Jaime heads to King's Landing after Cersei's attack.

Production
Development
HBO announced the eighth and final season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones in July 2016.[34][35] Like the previous season, it largely consists of original content not found in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.[36] As Benioff had verified in March 2015, the creators have talked with Martin about the end of the series, and they "know where things are heading". He explained that the ends of both the television and the book series would unavoidably be thematically similar, although Martin could still make some changes to surprise the readers.[37] When asked about why the television series is coming to an end, he stated: "this is where the story ends".[38]
Crew
Series creators, and executive producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss serve as showrunners for the eighth season. The directors for the eighth season were announced in September 2017. Miguel Sapochnik, who previously directed "The Gift" and "Hardhome" in the fifth season, as well as "Battle of the Bastards" and "The Winds of Winter" in the sixth season, returned to direct two episodes. David Nutter, who had directed two episodes each in the second, third, and fifth seasons, including "The Rains of Castamere" and "Mother's Mercy", directed three episodes for the eighth season. The final episode of the series was directed by Benioff and Weiss, who have previously co-directed two episodes, taking credit for one episode each.[1]
At the series' South by Southwest panel on March 12, 2017, Benioff and Weiss announced the writers for the series to be Dave Hill (episode 1) and Bryan Cogman (episode 2). The showrunners divided up the screenplay for the remaining four episodes amongst themselves.[39]
Writing
Writing for the eighth season started with a 140-page outline. Benioff said that the divvying up process and who should write what section became more difficult because "this would be the last time that we would be doing this".[40]
Filming
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, HBO programming president Casey Bloys stated that instead of the series finale being a feature film, the final season would be "six one-hour movies" on television. He continued, "The show has proven that TV is every bit as impressive and in many cases more so, than film. What they're doing is monumental".[41] Filming officially began on October 23, 2017[42] and concluded in July 2018.[43] Many exterior scenes were filmed in Northern Ireland, and a few in Dubrovnik, Croatia; Paint Hall Studios in Belfast were used for interior filming.[44]
Casting
The eighth season sees the return of Tobias Menzies as Edmure Tully and Lino Facioli as Robin Arryn, neither of whom appeared in the seventh season.[45] Marc Rissmann has been cast as Harry Strickland, the commander of the Golden Company.[46]
Content
Co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have said that the seventh and eighth seasons would likely comprise fewer episodes, stating that after the sixth season, they were "down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We're heading into the final lap".[47][48] Benioff and Weiss stated that they were unable to produce 10 episodes in the series' usual 12 to 14-month timeframe, as Weiss explained, "It's crossing out of a television schedule into more of a mid-range movie schedule".[47] HBO confirmed in July 2016, that the seventh season would consist of seven episodes and would premiere later than usual in mid-2017 because of the later filming schedule.[49] Benioff and Weiss later confirmed that the eighth season would consist of six episodes, and would premiere later than usual for the same reason.[50]
Benioff and Weiss said about the end of the series: "From the beginning we've wanted to tell a 70-hour movie. It will turn out to be a 73-hour movie, but it's stayed relatively the same of having the beginning, middle and now we're coming to the end. It would have been really tough if we lost any core cast members along the way, I'm very happy we've kept everyone and we get to finish it the way we want to".[50] The first two episodes are, respectively, 54 and 58 minutes long, while the final four episodes of the series are all more than an hour in length—episode three is 82 minutes (making it the longest episode of the series), episode four is 78 minutes and the last two are each 80 minutes.[51]
A two-hour documentary, Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, which documents the making of the eighth season, is due to air on May 26, the week after the series finale.[52]
Music
Ramin Djawadi returned as the series' composer for the eighth season.[53] On April 28, 2019, a single 9-minute track from the score titled "The Night King" was released for purchase.[54] It is taken from the climax of the third episode of the season, "The Long Night", which aired on the same day.
Release
Broadcast
The season premiered on April 14, 2019.[55]
Marketing
On December 6, 2018, HBO released the first official teaser trailer for the eighth season.[56] A second teaser trailer was released on January 13, 2019, which announced the premiere date as April 14, 2019. The trailer was directed by David Nutter.[57] HBO released a promotional advertisement with Bud Light on February 3, 2019, during Super Bowl LIII.[58] Later, first-look photos of several main characters were released on February 6, 2019.[59] On February 28, posters of many of the main characters sitting upon the Iron Throne were released.[28] The official full trailer was released on March 5, 2019.[29]
Illegal distribution
The season premiere was reportedly pirated by nearly 55 million people within the first 24 hours of release. Of these numbers, 9.5 million downloads came from India, 5.2 million came from China, and 4 million came from the U.S.[60] On April 21, 2019, it was reported that the second episode of the season was illegally leaked online hours before it aired due to being streamed early on Amazon Prime Germany.[61] On May 5, 2019, it was reported that the fourth episode of the season was leaked online, with footage from the episode circulating on social media.[62]
Reception
Critical response
On Metacritic, the eighth season (based on the first episode) has a score of 74 out of 100 based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[63] On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a 78% approval rating from 384 critics with an average rating of 8.1 out of 10.[64]
