Game of Thrones Season 8 in pictures
It’s coming: the first episode of the final season of HBO’s epic series makes landfall at 03:00 on Monday, 15 April.
Stream it on your DStv Now app or watch on your Explora. Or wait until 22:00 that same night, and stream it on Showmax (or your DStv Now app or on M-Net on your TV if you’re a DStv Premium customer).
Every Monday, new episodes will land on Showmax at 22:00, at the same time as M-Net and on DStv Now.
*Update: The full boxset of Game of Thrones S1-8 is ready to be binge-watched on Showmax.*
In the meantime, we got a glimpse of some of our favourite characters on set in these images that HBO released last week.
Now’s the time to pour yourself a beaker of hot coffee, a cup of ale or a glass of blood-red wine, and appreciate the magnificence of what is to come.
