The end is almost upon us, as HBO is preparing to release the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones in 2019. The filming of the new season in Ireland has been shrouded with complete and utter secrecy, but the new cover of Entertainment Weekly has finally given us the first glimpse of what's to come. ?It?s about all of these disparate characters coming together to face a common enemy, dealing with their own past, and defining the person they want to be in the face of certain death,? co-executive producer Bryan Cogman told EW.
