Woo boy, 2019 is going to be a Drogon-sized year for the folks over at the Home Box Office, as clearly demonstrated by a new preview released by the premium network that offers glimpses of everything coming down the pipeline. There are numerous highlights, for sure, but the most noteworthy as always is some new footage fromGame of Thrones' eighth and final season. While it’s always hard to trust pre-premiere footage because HBO’s secret-keeping trickery knows no bounds, I think it’s safe to say that what we’re seeing here is Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) seeing Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons in the flesh for the first time.
The rapid-fire preview also features a new peek atDamon Lindelof’s not-quite-an-adaptation ofAlan Moore’sWatchmen. Not a ton to report there, outside the objective fact that Jeremy Irons is going to absolutely own as an aged Ozymandias. For the OG HBO fans out there, there is also the very first footage from theDeadwoodmovie, which sees the triumphant mustachioed return ofTimothy Olyphant’s lawman, Seth Bullock.
On the new series front, there’s a tasty tease ofThe Righteous Gemstones, the televangelist comedy created byDanny McBrideand co-starringJohn GoodmanandAdam DeVine. That’s followed up byYears and Years, the drama starring Oscar-winnerEmma Thompsonas a radical celebrity turned politician.
