Brace yourself, Game of Thrones fans, the end is near. HBO announced that the upcoming — and last — season of the drama series will begin in April 2019 and released a highly anticipated teaser.

TV Shows Gone Too Soon!

“Every battle. Every betrayal. Every risk. Every fight. Every sacrifice. Every death. All #ForTheThrone,” the trailer was captioned on Tuesday, November 13. “The final season of Game of Thrones returns in April.”

Though the video doesn’t include any never-before-seen footage, it is a 75-second montage dedicated to past seasons to prepare fans for what’s to come. The clip highlights multiple characters and revisits critical moments that will play a part in the upcoming final episodes.

Costars Reunited!

Game of Thrones stars Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage opened up about their feelings on wrapping up filming earlier this year.

“Everybody has done a lot of crying-filming the last season, so we’re all feeling very bittersweet and existential crisis-y, the usual,” Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, told Us and other reporters in September at an Emmys afterparty.

Dinklage — who has portrayed Tyrion Lannister since 2011 — spoke about the last season during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series earlier that same night.

“I had my last day on set back in July of this year … and it was very sad. This is not only a great TV show to be a part of, but it was an enormous family to be a part of,” he gushed. “I’m sure you’ve heard that before from actors, but in this case, I was far from home. I live in New York and we shot the show over in Europe. Many times I had to stay there and I wasn’t able to go home on the weekends. So I really developed roots in the community of Ireland and in some of the other countries we shot it. So it was really hard to say goodbye, because I wasn’t saying goodbye to just the show. I was saying goodbye to a life over there.”
