Let the countdown begin, megafans.

Game of Thrones will OFFICIALLY air its eight and final season in April 2019. The HBO phenomenon aired its seventh season in August 2017, so there will have been an almost two-year gap.

For the feverous fanbase, that's 20 months too long…

Season eight will also run for six episodes, which is one episode fewer season seven, but never fear because each episode will run for as long as ninety minutes.

Imagine the tension… we can barely handle 60 minutes of such high-paced tension and pure visual spectacle. 90 minutes could have us fainting multiple times from sheer SHOOKETH-ness.

By premiering the April date, this allows Game of Thrones to remain eligible for the 2019 Emmys. The last season swept up nine awards, including Outstanding Drama Series, a major deal in the realm of television.

The HBO announcement came in the form of a new video broadcasting the launch of a final season campaign entitled  #ForTheThrone.

The video is as powerful as you might imagine considering the show is famed for its gruesome battles, dramatic deaths and revenge in every form.

(*SPOILERS INCOMING*)

Some of the most violent highlights from across the seven seasons are included in the clip, including the infamous Red Wedding (we STILL AREN'T OVER THIS) and the King's Landing wildfire attack.

The end of the seventh season left Westeros on the brink of its deadliest war yet, in case you have miraculously forgotten. The finale was one of the most watched TV episodes in history, and we can still hear the gasps.

Fan favourites such as Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and other prominent characters within the fantasy canon must learn to throw aside their differences in order to fight a common enemy: the Army of the Dead, led by the vicious Night King. 

The Army of the Dead have already begun marching after destroying the wall and taking control of a dragon, turning it to ice. WE WERE WAILING.

So you know, casual saving the world from massive bloodshed and death kinda vibe. The usual.

"Every battle. Every betrayal. Every risk. Every fight. Every sacrifice. Every death. All for the Throne."

Save the date, people. It's gonna be emotional.

The 31-year-old isn't the only member of her crew to have a tattoo in dedication to the TV show.

Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark has a direwolf with the words "the pack survives."  

Maisie Williams also has a neck tattoo in relation to her character on the show, Arya Stark.

She had "No one" inked which references her training in season five to becoming a faceless man.

The temptation to get some GoT ink is real.

Look, I know it is only September, but I can’t help but feel excited about Christmas. Is it too early? Maybe… Do I care? Nope.

I am already embracing the holiday spirit and this latest movie news has my heart feeling full and festive.

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clark and Crazy Rich Asians actor Henry Golding are set to star in a Christmas film together written by none other than Emma Thompson.

The Hollywood goddess is no stranger to festive films, having starred in Love Actually in 2003. Emma’s portrayal of the heartbroken Karen is by far one of her best performances *listens to Joni Mitchell and sobs*

The Pride and Prejudice actress has penned the screenplay for upcoming Christmas flick Last Christmas, with the help of Bryony Kimmings.

The writer revealed the movie is based on the popular Wham! hit Last Christmas. The late George Michael even gave the movie his blessing before his untimely passing on Christmas Day 2016.

Bridesmaids director Paul Feig will take over directing duties for the romantic comedy.

Lead actor Henry Golding couldn’t help but express his excitement about Last Christmas: “Finally I can start getting excited and share the news… @paulfeig and I will be back to business in London at the end of the year.”

It is believed filming will take place in London later this year, which unfortunately means it won’t be released in time for Christmas 2018.

I guess we’ll just have to stick with the classics for now. If anybody needs me I’ll be watching Home Alone for the 1000th time.

Game of Thrones fans, prepare for some immense enjoyment. 

Two of the show's most beloved characters, whose on-screen romance sadly ended in tragedy have reunited at the Iron Throne.

Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa took to Instagram to share a very dramatic shot in front of what looks like a cut-out of the iconic throne. 

 

A post shared by @emilia_clarke on

Jason is holding Emilia in his arms in an attempt at 'the lift' from Dirty Dancing.

'FYI…This is the closest you’ll ever get to me attempting 'that lift' from dirty dancing.'

'Id like to take a moment to thank alcohol for giving me courage to attempt this. Ever,' Emilia captioned the post.

Jason also posted a sweet snap of himself and Emilia, and the pair are obviously besties off-screen.

'Moon of my life @emilia_clarke every time I leave you my face hurts from smiling to much. I Fucking love you forever. Aloha,' he wrote. 

Bestie goals, tbh.

So, the season finale of Game of Thrones will air on Sky Atlantic tonight and without a doubt, one of the most talked about story lines has been the romance building between Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow.

However, as it turns out, the two actors, Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke, have already shared a pretty steamy kiss in front of the camera.

In light of their budding on screen romance, behind-the-scenes photos taken during a shoot for Rolling Stone back in 2012 have resurfaced online – and we've got to admit, they really do look great together.

 

A post shared by Peggy Sirota (@peggysirota) on

According to the New York Times, George R.R Martin had always envisioned a romance between the two characters.

“Yeah, I think it’s kind of hard to see that not happening,” said Alan Taylor, GoT director, when asked about the possibility.

“When we were shooting Season One and no one had seen the show yet, we were in Malta. Back then, there was not a lot of secrecy because nobody was paying attention, and George R.R. Martin came to visit and he was being quite open about his plans. He said something: That it really is all about Dany and Jon.”

So, will they? Won't they?

Only time will tell, but we're team Jaenerys all the way.

From his role as Joey in Friends to his recent gig on Top Gear, Matt LeBlanc has always been seen as cute, harmless and pretty damn lovable.

But it looks like a recent remark he made at the Emmys this weekend may go a long way towards turning that perception on its head.

While walking the red carpet at the weekend, the 49-year-old actor offered his opinion of Game of Thrones – and Twitter has been having a field day ever since.

While being interviewed alongside GoT's Emilia Clarke, Matt revealed he wasn't a die-hard fan of the show, but Emilia's nude scenes may change that.

"I saw the first season and then kind of fell out of touch with it…and I guess that’s when she started getting naked, so I need to catch up," he said.

And then all hell broke loose in the Twitosphere as social media users debated the nature of the comment.

While their characters may not have actually ever shared the screen (yet, as far as we know), Game Of Thrones stars Emila Clarke and Kit Harrington have spent plenty of time together off-screen. 

The 28-year old actress has spoken out recently about what it's like to be with Kit, who plays Jon Snow, out and about. The two appear to formed quite a close bond over the last five years, despite filming in different countries.

Speaking to GQ recently, Emilia said that while she can be lucky enough to go out without being recognised, Kit is not so lucky:

"We went to a FKA Twigs gig and it was mental. I went to the loo and in the cubicle on either side the girls were like, 'That's Jon Snow out there! Don't know who that random girl is."

Ever since the HBO show's most recent series finale rumours and fan theories have been popping up everywhere regarding Kit's character Jon. Is he dead or not seems to the question that anyone who watches the show cares about. 

Emilia has outed herself as one fan who doesn't think we have seen the last of him:

"We've got the red lady [Melisandre], but what would she bring him back as? She's got to take something for herself. Let's just say I'm optimistic."

Kit himself had fans in a frenzy earlier this week as he spoke to a Belgian magazine Humo about his future with the series:

"Let's just say that Game of Thrones will remain a part of my life for a while, I'll probably be in my thirties when it's over. One thing's for sure: the day I'm no longer on Thrones is the day I'll bury myself in movie projects.”

The interview was translated by eager GOT fans and posted on Reddit, but fans will just have to wait and see what happens when the show returns. 

One thing that Emilia  apparently says she would not be so eager for fans to see however, was so much nudity. She was quoted as saying that certain sex scenes in GOT were 'gratuitous' and made her 'cringe'. However, she took to social media in efforts to clarlify her statement and explained:

“I was followed into a party by a journalist who asked me a question about female empowerment and then quoted me entirely out of context for an outlet I didn’t agree to speak with,” she went on to add:

“In drama, if a nude scene forwards a story or is shot in a way that adds insight into characters, I’m perfectly fine with it. Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the characters/story."

Emilia Clarke was on Jimmy Kimmel Live when she proved that she can not only nail High Valyrian and Dothraki, but the quintessential ‘Valley Girl’ accent as well.

The 28-year-old Game of Thrones star was telling a story about when she had to put on an American accent so she wouldn’t be recognised buying an air conditioning unit from a Home Depot in New Orleans at 3am.

The Terminator Genisys actress admitted that her real-life fake American accent is somewhat different from her fake on-screen American accent. 

When Mr Kimmel asked Emilia’s alter ego, “Callie from the Valley,” where she got her accent, she answered, “I, like, love Clueless.”
