The Long Night of wait is over and we are just one day away from quenching our thirst for Game of Thrones’ last chapter. The eighth and final season is all set to go air on 14th April, 2019, as confirmed by the official channel for the broadcast, HBO. The show will be aired on 9 p.m. EST on HBO in the US and at 2 a.m. in the UK on Sky Atlantic as a result of the Transatlantic simulcast happening in 2019.

With the roll-out of the 2-minute trailer, fans have been more like a cat on hot bricks and conjectures have started to begin as to how will Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and the Westerosi be fated? The seventh season ended with a remarkable final episode depicting the true parentage of Jon Snow and also showcased the Night King and the Ice Dragon demolish The Wall and head to Westeros.

While there is still one day to go, fans over social media are having a whale’s time sharing and talking about the GOT brouhaha for a long time. According to Twitter, there have been more than 15 million tweets about the fantasy series in 2019. So far, the tweets about the hit HBO series have surged to 200 million since its very beginning in 2011.

The stats are only showing the veracity of the GOT fandom. Twitter claims that busiest days on the social media site have been 5th March, when the last season’s trailer was launched, 14th January, when the premiere date was called out, and 3rd April, when the red carpet for the show began in the New York City.

What Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer Has In Store For Us

The two-minute trailer of Game of Thrones has built the fervour leading to the final confrontation between the living and the dead. This will very likely turn the Battle of Bastards out of the water.

Injured Arya Stark is shown running away and in another flash, she is shown as uninjured carrying a dragon-glass dagger in her hand. The best part was Daenerys and Jon Snow visiting the Dragon and Rhaegal which could portend that Jon might ride the dragon named after his father.
