Season 8 - which consists of just six episodes as opposed to the usual 10 - has been highly anticipated for nearly two years, and ratings are expected to remain high all the way through the series finale on May 19.Īlso expected to remain at a fever pitch: viewer speculation as to who will live, who will die, and who will ultimately “win.” Betting odds give Jon Snow the best chance of sitting on the Iron Throne when all is said and done, and IndieWire has some predictions of its own. Leaks have done little to affect the show’s status as a ratings juggernaut, with last week’s “Winterfell” setting a multi-platform record by amassing 17.4 million viewers. HBO released a number of preview photos earlier this week showing some of the characters who appear to be prominently featured tonight: Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Danaerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Samwell Tarly (John Bradley), Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson), and Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel), among others.

(HBO) Euron looks up into the sky and actually looks a little disturbed. (HBO) Is this arrow taking aim at Dany's last remaining dragon? (HBO) The King's Landing troops march to their positions. (HBO) Ser Davos, Jon Snow and Tyrion Lannister prepare to take on King's Landing. Daenerys is nowhere to be seen, but towards the end of the trailer Euron is shown looking up into the sky as a dragon screeches… Cersei Lannister surveys the scene. It basically shows the main players at King's Landing - Cersei, Jon Snow ( Kit Harington ), Euron Greyjoy ( Pilou Asbæk ) and Tyrion Lannister - preparing for battle. The official teaser for Episode 5 reveals… not very much, not even the name of the episode, something the showrunners and HBO have withheld for the final season.
