The eighth and final season of D. B. Weiss and David Benioff's adaptation of George R. R. Martin's fantasy opus will come to an end with six multimillion dollar episodes in April 2019, and to whet your appetite for the grand finale HBO is sharing some of Game of Thrones greatest hits in the skies of L.A. at the moment.
These teaser billboards for the final season are like a retrospective of some of the show's most awesome moments, from 'Ned Stark's' surprise beheading in the first season to the infamously shocking and gory Red Wedding in season three, 'Cersei Lannister's' Walk of Shame and 'Jon Snow's' revival from the dead, there have been so many jaw-dropping moments to relive.
What is your favourite moment, 'Tyrion' killing his father on the toilet with a crossbow, the battle with the 'Night King' and his White Walkers and the undead beyond the wall, or the birth of the 'Mother of Dragons'?
Each of the eighth season episodes is rumoured to cost $15 million, so we can only imagine the action, death, dragons and destruction to be on a spectacular scale as the fate of Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance.
Can all the warring human challengers for the throne, the Starks, Lannisters, Greyjoys and Targaryens put aside their differences to battle the ultimate supernatural threat now that winter is here, or will it all end in blood, betrayal and tears. What do you think?
Will the Khaleesi and Jon Snow's love survive, will 'Arya Stark' get her revenge on Cersei and will we find out who the Night King is, or will everyone simply be destroyed by a giant zombie ice dragon?
These evocative 'For the throne' teaser billboards were photographed along Sunset Boulevard, La Cienega Boulevard, Holloway Drive, Santa Monica Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard and 3rd Street from November 21 to November 26, 2018.
This outdoor ad campaign would really make for an amazing Emmy or awards consideration campaign for the show, not that it needs any help winning accolades.
Fans of the fantasy drama can also enjoy all these previous season promo billboards for Game of Thrones from 2011 to date.
Even though this epic story is drawing to a close HBO is reportedly developing several prequel series to captilise on the success of the GOT phenomenon and satisfy fans withdrawal symptoms when it's all over.
Let's just hope that Game of Thrones will go out on a satisfactory ending, otherwise we're sure heads will roll.
