Here is a preview of next week’s Game of Thrones episode!!!

The whole world has been on pause for the last couple of days, as everyone has been tuning in to the new episode of Game of Thrones. The premiere of season eight, episode one had viewing figures of one billion people on its first night of airing. If that isn't evidence the whole world is hooked on Game of Thrones, I don't know what is. If, like many, you can't bear to wait a full week for your next instalment, then here's a little Game of Thrones preview to help you through the week.

This preview shows there is so much more to come, and despite the lack of bloodshed in the first episode, that was all just the beginning. The 50-second long clip starts with Daenerys (played by Emilie Clarke), talking to Jaime (played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).

She says: "When I was a child, my brother would tell me a bedtime story about the man who murdered our father, and all the things we would do to that man."

"You never should have trusted Cersei," she says to Sansa (played by Sophie Turner). To which Sansa replies: "You never should have either."

This is where it turns really interesting. "How long do we have?" Jon Snow asks Ser Davos, talking about the imminent threat of the Night King. "Before the sun comes up tomorrow," he replies.

The drama is just beginning, and it is immense.
