AKIPRESS.COM - The beginning of the end for Game of Thrones will come on April 14, 2019, HBO revealed in a new teaser trailer.

The teaser sets up an intriguing meetup for the eighth and final season, opening with the Stark children returning home to reunite in their family’s family crypt at Winterfell.

Last fall, HBO announced that the show would return in April for a six-episode final season, and earlier this year. 

This final season isn’t the last that we’ll see of George R.R. Martin’s Westros, however.

HBO has already begun working on several spinoffs, and recently ordered a pilot for one of them, The Long Night, a prequel series set “thousands of years” prior to the current show.

The creators recently cast several actors for the series, and announced that S.J. Clarkson will direct the pilot.
