HBO has released 14 new photos from Season 8 of “Game of Thrones,” giving a glimpse of the show’s large cast of characters ahead of the final run of episodes.
The new images don’t reveal much beyond that Jon Snow, Daenerys and co. haven’t changed much physically and will continue to look basically as they have for the last eight years of the show. Except maybe now they’re a little bit chillier, since, you know, winter is here, etc.
HBO has been pretty withholding in its promotion of the final season, relying mostly on recognizable and well-known images from past episodes. Footage from the final six episodes has been released in dribs and drabs, primarily as part of larger compilations of HBO’s upcoming programming.
The first came in August and showed a single quick shot of Sansa and Jon embracing, and the second aired during the Golden Globes earlier this month. That latter tease showed what fans assumed is more from the previous scene, with Sansa handing Winterfell over to Daenerys in their very first meeting — and not looking too happy about it.
A promo announcing the April premiere date, directed by David Nutter, featured all-new footage of the three surviving Stark kids reuniting in the crypt below Winterfell, though none of it will appear in the season.
HBO has yet to release a full-length trailer for the season, though it did collaborate with Burger King on a semi-bewildering Super Bowl ad.
But for now, fans hoping for more information about the final season will have to wait a little longer and find a way to make do with a few character portraits to scour for clues. See all 14 photos below.
