For Emilia Clarke, the game has finally come to an end. The game of filming, that is. Game of Thrones has been HBO’s most successful show to date crushing ratings domestically and internationally for years. The eighth and final season will air sometime in 2019 but when that date will be is anyone’s guess. Filming pickup scenes and additional shots wrapped early June 2018, which was roughly around HBO’s estimated target range. Now the final footage is going into production and one actor, in particular, is feeling especially nostalgic about her time in Westeros.
Emilia Clarke, who unless you live under a rock, portrays one of the most strong and beautiful female leads, Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones. Clarke recently paid a special tribute to Northern Ireland in her latest social media post, calling the country her home away from home in a lovely caption:
“Hopped on a boat to an island to say goodbye to the land that has been my home away from home for almost a decade,” she wrote. “It’s been a trip @gameofthrones thank you for the life I never dreamed I’d be able to live and the family I’ll never stop missing #💔#lastseasonitis“
The feeling is mutual.
Now that filming has officially ended it’s time to begin the speculating if Daenerys ever did get that iron throne she wanted so badly. It’s going to be a remarkable feat to bring the story together in the final season — especially with an abbreviated 6 episodes (although each episode is slated to exceed the 60 minute run time). Basically each week we’ll get the equivalent of a short high budget movie to grace our television screens and pray that the white walkers don’t make it south. Somehow… I’m not going to hold my breath hoping all our beloved characters make it out unscathed.
In case you’ve forgotten:
