What will the Game of Thrones documentary include?
Filmmaker Jeanie Finlay was given unrestricted access to the Game of Thrones final episodes, filmed in Belfast. The documentary, called Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, will be a behind the scenes look at how the series has been made, watching the crew and cast as they go through production.
Describing the documentary, HBO said it "delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland.
"Made with unprecedented access, The Last Watch is an up-close and personal report from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers.
"Much more than a 'making of' documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it."
It's basically the final goodbye everyone wants, and needs.
It's time to say goodbye x
