The final season of Game of Thrones is just around the corner. Okay, maybe not just around the corner, but we are closer to it than ever before. A hint of which is the fact that the first official picture of Game of Thrones season 8 is out. And it is a treat for all the fans who have been shipping Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen together. Entertainment Weekly has the two characters in a warm embrace on the cover of their next issue. Fans are, obviously, going crazy over the information. We did see romantic sparks fly between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen in season 7, but given the slight hint that they might be related to each other is sort of unsettling.

So this blooming relationship could have gone either way. But the first official picture of Game of Thrones season 8 confirms that fans are getting what they wanted.  Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are getting together. At least that is what's strongly hinted by this cover. Game Of Thrones Just Got It's Own White Walker Scotch Whisky And The Cost Starts At Approximately Rs 2,200.

The final season of the series will only contain 6 episodes. Despite being the shortest season, Game of Thrones has taken a record time to be shot. The cast and crew shot for over 10-months because as per Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington, the makers wanted nothing but perfection.

In this issue of Entertainment Weekly, co-executive producer Bryan Cogman has said that things are going for a drastic turn in season 8. "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... It’s an incredibly emotional haunting bittersweet final season and I think it honors very much what [George R.R. Martin] set out to do, which is flipping this kind of story on its head." he said.

We are already super stoked up for Game of Thrones season 8. Who do you think will sit on the iron throne at last? Tweet us your guesses @latestly
