Shortly after Sunday’s showing of Episode 5 of Game Of Thrones in which Dany would finally burn King’s Landing to the ground, HBO unveiled the trailer for episode 6th, the final episode of the cult favorite television series.
In the new clip, we are given a clear shot of Dany’s back as she walks toward and observes the now destroyed King’s Landing, signaling toward Dany’s official transition.
Notably, those who remained in the North were absent from the trailer. But, with so many King’s Landing players out for the count — and it being the last episode ever — Sansa and Bran are sure to make a reappearance.
Episode 4 saw the fulfillment of the mad queen plotline that some fans hoped wouldn’t be put into play, but alas. After the Lannister army surrendered, Daenerys burnt King’s Landing and likely the vast majority of its innocent inhabitants to bits. Now, the remaining players are left to determine who will sit on the Iron Throne.
The showrunners David Benioff also provided insight into Dany’s reason for burning up King’s Landing in the latest edition of “Inside The Episode.”
“[Dany’s] very much alone and that’s a dangerous thing for someone who’s got so much power to feel that isolated,” says Benioff. “At the very time when she needs guidance, everyone/s gone.
The series finale of Game of Thrones airs next Sunday, May 19th on HBO.
