In the midst of the Golden Globe awards, HBO dropped a teaser touting its original content coming in 2019, which also happened to reveal the first footage fromGame of ThronesSeason 8, as well as the highly anticipatedWatchmenTV series adaptation from showrunnerDamon Lindelof.
TheThronesfootage is merely a brief scene, but a crucial one as Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clark) arrive in Winterfell and greet Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner). Sansa’s reaction is intriguing to say the least.
As forWatchmen, Lindelof has said previously that this adaptation is more of a “remix” ofAlan Mooregroundbreaking graphic novel than a straight adaptation, and indeed this brief footage previews a very different world.
HBO has yet to announce a premiere date forWatchmen, butGame of Thrones’ final season is due to debut in April. The season consists of just six episodes, but we can safely assume a number of them will run longer than one hour. And with that monumental series airing so soon (relatively), I’m sure we’re pretty darn close to an actual trailer with actual footage. Although we’ve made it this far, do wereallywant to see very much before embarking on this journey?
Other shows teased in the promo includeTrue DetectiveSeason 3, which premieres on January 13th (read Allison’s positive reviewhere), as well asBig Little LiesSeason 2 starringMeryl Streepand the limited seriesChernobyl.
Check out the HBO teaser below followed by some screengrabs, and let the excitement for HBO’s 2019 offerings begin. See, noteverythingis on Netflix.
