The eighth and final season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones, produced by HBO,
premiered on April 14, 2019, and concluded on May 19, 2019. Unlike the
first six seasons, which consisted of ten episodes each, and the seventh season, which consisted of seven episodes, the eighth season consists of only six episodes.
The final season depicts the culmination of the series' two
primary conflicts: the Great War against the Army of the Dead, and the
Last War for control of the Iron Throne. In the first half of the
season, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen
and many of the main characters converge at Winterfell to face the
Dead. During the long, bloody battle, which includes aerial combat by
dragons, Bran lures the Night King into the open, where Arya destroys him; the army of White Walkers and wights crumble. Meanwhile, Cersei Lannister
remains in King's Landing and strengthens her forces to set traps for a
weakened Daenerys. The second half of the season resumes the war for
the throne as Daenerys suffers losses until she finally assaults King's
Landing on Drogon, her last dragon. She defeats Cersei's forces, burns
the city and kills Cersei and her brother Jaime. Daenerys vows to
"liberate" the whole world as she has liberated the capital of Westeros.
Unable to sway her from her destructive path, an agonized Jon kills
her. Drogon flies away with her body. The leaders of Westeros choose
Bran Stark as King, who grants the North independence and appoints
Tyrion his Hand. Sansa Stark is crowned Queen in the North. Arya sails west, and Jon leads the Wildlings north of the Wall.
The season was filmed from October 2017 to July 2018 and largely consists of original content not found in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, while also incorporating material that Martin has revealed to showrunners about the upcoming novels in the series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. The season was adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.
The season was met with mixed reviews from critics, in contrast
to the widespread acclaim of previous seasons, and is the lowest-rated
of the series on the website Rotten Tomatoes.
While the performances, production values, cinematography, and music
score were praised, criticism was mainly directed at the writing and
shorter runtime of the season, as well as numerous creative decisions
made by the showrunners.
The season received 32 nominations at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards, the most for a single season of television in history.[1] It won twelve, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Peter Dinklage.
