One Battle Scene in Game of Thrones Season 8 Took 55 Nights To Film

By 20-somethinglife | April 9, 2018

Per Watchers on the Wall, there will be a battle scene in the upcoming final season of Game of Thrones that took 55 consecutive nights to film. Yes. That is awesome. There are some spoilers as to the location where this battle will take place, but we’re going to leave those out. If you really want to know, you can find out here.

Both the Battle of the Bastards and the Loot Train ambush took roughly a month each to film, putting this battle scene at nearly twice the length. That helps to put into perspective how huge this battle scene will be. Both of those scenes pushed the limits of what has been done before, and it looks like this scene in season 8 will blow both of those out of the water in length, elaboration, or both.

Assistant director Jonathan Quinlan shared the below image on Instagram and later deleted it.

The fun part? You still have to wait until 2019 to see it. Check out the 20-somethinglife guide to other shows you can watch while you wait for Game of Thrones to return.

Game Of Thrones Returns April 2019 For Its Final Season

By 20-somethinglife | January 26, 2018

While it’s not comforting for your impatient mind, we at least finally have somewhat of a confirmed timeline for the final season of Game of Thrones: April 2019.

—–Spoilers ahead—–

Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the show, recently mentioned in an interview with Metro that the cast will wrap up filming in December of 2018 with the first episode of the season airing four months later. She went on to add:

That’s a four-month turnaround for these huge episodes. There’s a lot that goes into the final edit. You would not want to rush this season at all. We owe it to our audience and our fans to really do this final season to the best of our abilities.

While the eighth and final season will only be six episodes long, each episode is expected to be 80 minutes in length at a minimum. We can’t wait.
