HBO Teases Clip from Game of Thrones Season 8, Twitter Loses It

Don’t miss this Game of Thrones season 8 preview!

It may be short but it’s everything that Game of Thrones fans around the world have been waiting for!

Causing a farrago of emotions among those who swear by the popular TV series, HBO on Monday, 27 August 2018, tweeted the trailer for its 2019 lineup.

The one minute and thirty second video had, besides footage from Game of Thrones Season 7, a three-second clip from the show’s upcoming and final season.

Can’t. Keep. Calm.

GoT fans on Twitter could not keep their cool, of course! Here’s how they reacted.

This is exactly what I hoped for Jon's return to WF. A big hug. Look at Jon's face. He is relieved to be back home and to see Sansa again. Sansa is loyal to Jon. She has his back. They are 100% loyal to each other. https://t.co/IAf6N6AyrO

The Jon/Sansa hug looks new but otherwise that's S7 footage, right? Gendry swinging his hammer at the Lannisters cut to Jaime dodging Dothraki during SoW.

Speculations and theories soon began to float around.

HBO: *releases a three second clip of Jon and Sansa's S08 reunion*

Me: *tries to decipher the whole S08 plot out of the three second clip*

Is Sansa Looking at Daenerys?

Some speculated that, in the clip, Sansa is looking at Jon’s new love, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). Jon and Daenerys’ union was confirmed at the end of Season 7. It remains to be seen how Sansa will react to this.

y’all this content tells us that jon definitely reunites with sansa which means sansa probably meets daenerys in that same scene i’m so excited
