Kit Harington has some intriguing information, to say the least. He KNOWS THINGS we don't; namely the Game of Thrones ending.

One of the biggest kept secrets in the entire universe, Kit has been carrying around some absolute bombs for months, and his poor wife has now been victim to the biggest one of all.

Jon Snow and Ygritte were (ARE) Game of Thrones' most tragic couple, and the real-life husband and wife are both highly invested in the show.

They're one of the cutest celebrity couples in the business, especially because their love onscreen was SO DAMN PALPABLE.

Harington has thanked the show in the past for bringing them together, speaking of how he fell in love with Rose after filming with her in Iceland.

During a radio appearance earlier in the week, Kit revealed the tension which still resides between him and his wife over the show…

Rose is a major Game of Thrones fan, considering her past role in the show. Naturally, she was curious about how the show ends, most likely since her husband is now smooching the Mother of Dragons. 

She asked her hubby how she show ends, and he (stupidly) indulged her questions. BIG mistake, Kit.

According to Entertainment Weekly, he said, “I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn’t talk to me for about three days…and she’d asked!”

We're not quite sure if her reaction means that the ending is happy or tragic, but we're assuming tragic. George R. R. Martin and the showrunners are cruel men, they kill off everyone we love.

Kit Harington previously said he was satisfied with the iconic HBO series' ending, but refused to say if he was happy or sad about it. So it's 100 percent sad.

We're fairly sure Jon Snow isn't the only person to let slip TV's mother of all secrets. Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, also told her nearest and dearest the ending too.

Would you tell your significant other, or parents, the finale spoilers? We probably would, TBH.

HBO has finally announced the exact release date for the final season of Game of Thrones.

Following more than a YEAR of speculation (they just love to keep us waiting, don't they?), the company revealed that the Emmy-award winning fantasy show will air on April 14 2019.

A trailer named Crypts of Winterfell was released, featuring Jon Snow, Sansa Stark and Arya Stark, and we're GASPING.

The trailer was aired just before the third season of True Detective

It was estimated that the eighth and final season would make it to the screen after Big Little Lies season two, on April 28.

Sky Atlantic is expected to simulcast and broadcast the premiere the evening after, but luckily for us, the show is returning sooner than anticipated.

The countdown to the final six episodes of the cable network's biggest show EVER begins now.

Teasing the last few episodes of the hit show, co-executive producer Bryan Cogman said: “It’s about all of these disparate characters coming together to face a common enemy, dealing with their own past, and defining the person they want to be in the face of certain death.”

The most incredible battle in the show's history will feature in the dramatic season, and we're SHOOKETH with anticipation.

Let's not lie to ourselves here, every single one of us will bawl our eyes out during the last season of HBO's iconic fantasy show, Game of Thrones.

How could we not? Any character who has survived up until now gets a medal, to be fair, and our favourites could die at any second.

The visual effects, the romance, the betrayals, the wars, THE DRAMA. *swoons* Kit Harington, Jon Snow himself, recently spoke to GQ Australia, where he revealed how difficult the final season was to film.

It made Harington cry more than once, but according to the protagonist and infamous member of the Night's Watch, the show "seemed to be designed to break us." Same here, Kit, same here.

"Everyone was broken at the end. I don't know if we were crying because we were sad it was ending or if we were crying because it was so f–king tiring," he divulged to GQ Australia.

"We were sleep deprived. It was like it was designed to make you think, ‘Right, I'm f–king sick of this'," he added. We'd crave our beds too.

"I remember everyone walking around towards the end going, ‘I've had enough now. I love this, it's been the best thing in my life, I'll miss it one day—but I'm done.'"

Co-creator of the show David Benioff explained that the lengthy delay between seasons is because of how monstrous a job it is to get the episodes made, especially with the immense visual effects.

"The final season's taking a long time because it's the biggest thing we've ever done," Benioff said backstage at this years Emmys.

"It was nearly a full year in Belfast either prepping it or actually shooting it. I think when people see it, they're going to understand why it took so long. The last season is far beyond what we've ever attempted before."

Richard Pepler, head of HBO, commented he's seen rough cuts of every episode of the final season. Lucky b*astard.

"It's a spectacle. The guys have done six movies. The reaction I had while watching them was, ‘I'm watching a movie,'" Plepler told Variety at a Golden Globes party.

"Benioff and D.B. Weiss knew the bar was high. They've exceeded the bar. I've watched them twice without any CGI and I'm in awe. Everybody's in for an extraordinary treat of storytelling and of magical, magical production."

Details are still pretty (Ned) Stark, however we do know that the BIGGEST Game of Thrones battle ever will take place, and allegiances are shaky AF as the White Walkers march onwards. 

The final season is set to debut in April 2019, and Harington can't wait to release it;

"And that weight is off my shoulders. It's done now. I can be proud of it. We've got eight seasons, and they can sit on a bookshelf at home 'til the end of time," he said.

There's never a quiet moment in the White House, and today proves no different. 

US President Donald Trump referenced HBO fantasy hit Game of Thrones to back up his border wall plans, and BOY did it fail.

He essentially brought his parody poster, which was an image of himself (of course) with the phrase 'sanctions are coming' scrawled across it in classic GOT style. 

The sanctions are in reference to his notorious border wall proposal, which he wants to block off access from Mexico and various South American countries to the States. 

The wall is set to cost over $25 BILLION if it's given the green light, and will also stop hundreds of people from living in Native American tribes from living there, as well as having disastrous consequences for wildlife.

SPOILER: We're pretty sure he hasn't watched the latest series of GOT, because the famous wall which blocks the North from the South is destroyed by the Night King in the finale of season seven.

Basically, the wall didn't work. Which makes Trump's use of GOT references even dumber…if that was even possible.

Cabinet employees tweeted that they had no idea why the poster was brought to the meeting.

Trump is most likely the first President to use memes in serious occasions such as discussions regarding immigration and North Korea.

HBO most likely aren't suing the President, but they made their distaste very clear:

Honestly, we have no words.

Winter better be coming for Trump, we don't know what other season could handle his ridiculousness.

Death is pretty much a given when it comes to Game of Thrones; whether it's the Red Wedding (RIP my heart), the Battle of the Bastards or just any kind of royal gathering, you're guaranteed to see bloodshed.

That being said, the upcoming and much-anticipated final season of the show will be pivotal when it comes to character killing, because the last one standing LITERALLY wins Game of Thrones.

*deep breathes* We're going to need a stiff drink to handle the tension and grieving which series eight will inevitably bring…

A new study published in the Injury Epidemiology journal tries to decipher the likelihood of characters meeting their bloody end, and has recorded data on 330 Game of Thrones personalities.

The data takes circumstances such as religious beliefs and social status into account based off each episode of the HBO smash hit show.

'What influences the chances of a character death?' we hear you ask. Author of the study, Reidar Lysad (he sounds like a character himself…) has said;

"The risk of death is high among characters in Game of Thrones.

By the end of the seventh season, more than half of the characters had died – 186 out of the 330 characters we included in this study – with violent deaths being the most common by far.!

Apparently, switching allegiance makes you a lot more likely to survive in the show, but sticking to your morals and principles increases the chance that you'll reach the end.

Probably because it's always the sneaky snakes who can con their way into staying alive… 

Women and 'highborns' are also more likely to continue with their lives, rather than poor, male characters.

Which means… Queen of Westeros and General Nutjob Cersei Lannister might end up being the last gal standing. *gasps* but her prophecy??

Jaime Lannister, Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister all have higher chances of survival because of their tendency to switch sides, and their high status.

One in seven characters actually died within the first hour of their introduction, and the fastest end to a character was just 11 SECONDS. Good God, no one is safe.

The regular character is alive for roughly 29 hours, and only two deaths were from natural causes.

In Westeros, anything goes. They could all die, TBF, and the throne will be left icy and barren.

The outcome of the show is always unpredictable, and aims to be different than the expected.

As the saying goes; “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die”.

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.

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.

There have been interviews, lie detectors and even official word from HBO that Jon Snow is dead, and yet the world just can't seem to believe it.

But now, a few students who are massive fans of Game of Thrones have worked out an algorithm that proves the chances of Jon Snow dying are very slim.

Scholars at the Technical University of Munich researched the likelihood of a characters' death throughout the series using info from the show, the novels, fan websites and social media pages.

The students analysed the characters by "age, title, gender, number of deceased relations, popularity" and a dozen of other categories, according to Harper's Bazaar.

This is the outcome of most likely to die:

  • Tommen Baratheon: 97%
  • Stannis Baratheon: 96%
  • Daenerys Targaryen: 95%
  • Davos Seaworth: 91%
  • Petyr Baelish: 91%

And these are the least likely:

  • Sansa Stark: 3%
  • Jon Snow: 11% 
  • Cersei Lannister: 16%
  • Mace Tyrell: 18%
  • Roose Bolton: 28%

SEE? Only 11 percent. We just might be on to something here…

Game of Thrones is quite possibly the cruellest show on TV and the popular fantasy series is certainly living up to this title by tormenting us with a teaser poster for season six.

And yes, you 've guessed it! The poster features none other than our beloved Jon Snow, played by the lovely Kit Harrington, who was murdered in the final moments of season five. 

Though he looks a bit worse for wear, he certainly looks alive!

We can only hope. 

The season finale was definitely a tough one to swallow with a mere SIX character deaths, but it's safe to say that Jon’s was the most devastating. 

And just when we were unsure how we could possibly go on without the brooding stares of the deliciously curly-haired Snow, HBO had to go and get us all emotional again.

We now have to wait until APRIL for the series to return but when this torturous poster was dropped, Twitter understandably lost its mind.

 

We know that Kit has renewed his contract for both season six AND seven of the series but we also know that we are talking about Game of Thrones, a show that literally thrives on torturing its fans.

So in true Jon Snow fashion, we literally know nothing.

Since the finale of season five, Game of Thrones fans have been going crazy speculating whether or not Jon Snow will be returning to the show.

But a recent sighting of Kit Harrington in Belfast has led people to presume that this means Jon Snow will in fact be making a comeback.

The popular character of Jon Snow was killed off at the end of the last series, leaving the world in total shock. GOT fans immediately pointed out that Melisandre, the priestess of the Lord of Light with the ability to resurrect the dead, was present during the awful scene.

It has also been noted that the 28-year-old actor has maintained his long hair which he grew specifically for the show.

And now, he has been spotted in Belfast, the home to the Game of Throne’s set, just in time for the filming of the sixth season.

Of course, there is always the possibility that Kit could be over in Belfast with the rest of his co-stars to shoot a funeral scene, but we are determined to remain optimistic.

Just incase you haven't watched the last episode of Game Of Thrones, or haven't heard about this by now, which seems very unlikely then let us just warn you… *SPOILERS*

Ok so following the finale of GOT season 5, fans worldwide all had their own theories as to what really happened with Jon Snow the night the knights watch turned against him.

To some people it all seemed so obvious "He was stabbed like 62 times in the stomach he's ded" but other didn't believe this so easily, "The red woman is there, she will bring him back to life. He can't be dead".

Well Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the television show, spoke to E! news and pretty much killed the dreams of anyone who was holding out hope for the safe return of Jon Snow. 

In the interview, Maisie literally caused the breaking of a thousand hearts when speaking about whether Jon will be back or not saying, "I'm like, ‘I don't think so. I'm very sorry!' I don't know, maybe he wanted to keep the hair in the end."

She then goes on to make sure we don't have one fleeting ounce of hope by squashing another theory about Jon coming back as a white walker. After all, we think white walker Jon Snow is better than no Jon Snow at all. 

"We saw him get stabbed like five times in the chest," Ms Williams says. "I think he's gone. I mean, I could be wrong, but I really don't think so."

"And people are like, ‘He's going to come back as White Walker!' I'm like, 'Really, we'd bring back Jon Snow as a White Walker?!' OK, you can believe what you'd like."

 Thanks Maisie, that's our Thursday ruined…

Belfast fans of Game Of Thrones’ Kit Harington were less than impressed with the actor’s recent words on their hometown.

The actor appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers when he was asked what it was like to live in Belfast, replying: “It’s wonderful … for two or three days.”

Kit has lived in Belfast for the past five years as part of his role as Jon Snow in the hit show. Unlike Kit, much of the rest of the cast travel quite a bit; filming in places such as Malta and Spain. 

The host of the show was less than helpful to the situation when Kit told him he had to be careful what he says as not to offend the people of Belfast, Seth rather scathingly replies: “Oh, I wouldn’t worry about the people of Belfast.”

Kit then goes on to talk about Belfast's 'wonderfully depressed tourist board' that counts the 'most bombed hotel in Europe', the doomed Titanic and the 'most depressing TV show in history, Game of Thrones, as it's main attractions. 

Ouch, Kit!

Fans of the show from the city have been voicing their opinion on Twitter; with the Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast even offering Kit and the entire Game Of Thrones cast a tour of the town:
