GAME OF THRONES Season 8: First Look At Jon Snow And Daenerys Targaryen On New EW Cover
Well, it seems as if Westeros has a new power couple! The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly features a first look at Game of Thrones season eight and Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are getting cosy...
When Game of Thrones returns to HBO next year, it will be for its eighth and final season. Now, Entertainment Weekly has revealed its latest cover and the spotlight is put firmly on Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
As you can see, the lovers are clearly still up north and are sharing an embrace which makes it clear that they're Westeros' new power couple. "It’s relentless; scenes that would have been a one-day shoot five years ago are now a five-day shoot," Harington says. "They want to get it right, they want to shoot everything every single way so they have options."
It's hard to say how much longer this dynamic will last between them, of course, especially as Dany's feelings may quickly change when she realises that Jon has a right to the Iron Throne.
"It’s about all of these disparate characters coming together to face a common enemy, dealing with their own past, and defining the person they want to be in the face of certain death," co-executive producer Bryan Cogman says. "It’s an incredibly emotional haunting bittersweet final season and I think it honours very much what [author George R.R. Martin] set out to do — which is flipping this kind of story on its head."
