PUBLISHED MAR 12, 2019

HBO's 'Game of Thrones' has kept the finale under wraps for far too long but fortunately, fans only have to wait for a month before the finale season hits us with the most epic battle ever. While creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss have kept their mouths sealed about even the tiniest clue that could have helped us figure out the ending, it can be assumed that Season 8 will basically sum up all the conspiracies, manipulations, and the unending wait to see who finally gets on the Iron Throne. Before that, however, they all need to escape the wrath of the Night King. Based on George RR Martin's epic saga's first part 'A Song of Ice and Fire', Season 8 will bring together all our favorite characters one final time.

With the show set to return soon, here's everything you need to know as you spend the longest hours on television:
