'Game of Thrones' Showrunners Confirm Full-Length Season 8 Trailer is Coming

Anticipation for the final season of Game of Thrones has been building ever since season seven came to a close in Aug. 2017. Fans literally cannot wait until April for the season eight premiere, and have been begging for a deeper look into the series conclusion.

In a recent interview, Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Daniel Weiss admitted to Entertainment Weekly they wish they could starve these content-hungry fans and release absolutely no trailers ahead of the season premiere.

“[David Lynch] was saying he wished there were no trailers,” Benioff said. “And it’s true, you could just go into a movie and see something completely fresh.” Weiss agreed the final season doesn’t need any sort of introduction, adding, “I wish there were no trailers. I just want somebody to say, ‘Trust me, go see this.'”

Weiss revealed it was the trailer for another popular show that convinced the duo there should be a trailer for the final season. The producers know, however, Game of Thrones is popular enough they could get away with not putting out a season eight trailer.

“We won’t though,” Weiss clarified. “Because then we went and saw Ready Player One with our kids and they played the Westworld trailer and it looked great. And we’re like, ‘Ah, we should do that.'”

So far, HBO has only given fans bitesize looks into the final season. The newest teasers show Sansa Stark meeting Daenerys Targaryen, and Sansa, Arya Stark, and Jon Snow in the Crypts of Winterfell.

While there is still no information about a timeline, this interview is confirmation a complete trailer is, in fact, on its way. Production on the final season wrapped last August, so fans are definitely getting antsy. Game of Thrones will return on April 14.
