First photo from ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8 reveals intense Jon and Dany in the dead of winter

The end is near, but also it looks fabulous. 

With Game of Thrones Season 8 seemingly just around the corner—c’mon people, let’s get that release date locked down—on set photos of the HBO saga are finally beginning to trickle their way to the fans. The first to hit: a stunning photo of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.

In a November cover photo for Entertainment Weekly, Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington pose in the snow, looking cold and super intense; that makes sense considering Season 8 is set to be cold and, you guessed it, super intense. 

Check out the photo:

‘Game of Thrones’ villains, ranked by how justified their actions are

It’s Villain Week here at Mashable. In honor of the release of Venom, we’re celebrating all our favorite evildoers from film and TV all week long. Spooky, scary!


Game of Thrones is a franchise full of horror and death, and lots of character are to blame for all that horror and death.

But author George R. R. Martin has stated on numerous occasions that he wrote the fantasy series to deliberately subvert the genre tropes of “good vs. evil.” All his characters, including most of his protagonists, are not all good nor all bad. They are human, falling somewhere in the gradient of the grey moral area between the two. Read more…

A missing character is returning to ‘Game of Thrones’ for the final season

Are you sick of feeling ghosted by Ghost, Jon Snow’s faithful direwolf who was very much absent all of last season?

Fret not. Ghost is returning for the final season of Game of Thrones. The show’s VFX supervisor Joe Bauer has said the albino beast will be “very present” in Season Eight. 

“Oh, you’ll see him again. He has a fair amount of screen time in Season Eight,” Bauer told Huffington Post. “He’s very present and does some pretty cool things in Season Eight.”

According to Bauer, they did shoot one scene with Ghost in Season Seven, which ended up being cut. The scene featured Jon Snow telling his wolf to take care of Sansa as he was leaving Winterfell.  Read more…

Kit Harington shares heartbreaking update that he’s wrapped filming on ‘Game of Thrones’

TwitterFacebook

We can’t stop saying goodbye to Jon Snow. First was said goodbye when he was dead. Then he wasn’t. 

But now we face the prospect of the final season of Game of Thrones in 2019, and know it’s for good this time. 

So does actor Kit Harington, who seems equally if not more devastated by having to say RIP to the character he played for eight years.

“I actually just wrapped on Thursday last week,” he said in a recent BBC Radio 2 interview promoting his stage performance in True West. “It’s just been this amazing journey, and I kind of said to them in my wrap speech that it’s always been more than a job. It’s like they were a family and it was my life. I’ve loved every minute. I’ve been quite emotional the last week, thinking about having ended — having finished it.”  Read more…

This post contains potential spoilers for the upcoming Game of Thrones Season 8

Game of Thrones fans made a gut-wrenching discovery at the Belfast set of Winterfell Castle  — and we’re shook to the core by what it could mean for Season 8.

Several images surfaced Tuesday showing Winterfell engulfed in flames. The fires, it seems, are emanating from both inside and outside the castle — which means the castle will have little hope of surviving to be more than pile of rubble. And the whole thing feels like an icy stab in the heart. 

Many of you might, like us, be screaming, “LEAVE WINTERFELL ALONE!” while wiping away mascara-streaked tears. And we 100% agree. The castle, the Starks, and the North have been through enough as it is.  Read more…
