The documentary from British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay took fans behind the scenes of Game of Thrones’ cast and crew’s journey of making the eight and final season of the series.

Game of Thrones: The Last Watch chronicled David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’s making of the final season of Game of Thrones, which however divisive, is nonetheless epically beautiful.

The docu really pulls the curtain on the show’s immense creative work, which includes a team of costumes, hair, makeup, and special effects people among others. 

David Nutter, who directed three of season eight’s episodes, gave the creative team their much deserved credit saying he’s simply “a conductor of fine musicians who basically waves his arms around.”

According to production designer Deborah Riley, each hour filmed during the eight and final season of Game of Thrones cost $15 million or more. “All we were doing in seasons 4, 5, 6 and 7 were training for season 8,” Riley said.

The Last Watch also gave fans a look at the moment Kit Harington, aka Jon Snow, discovered that he was to slay his love and Queen, Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emilia Clarke. The footage of that final table read shows both actors get quite emotional of the fate of their on-screen love.

Titled Game of Thrones: The Last Watch, the two-hour-long documentary will chronicle the filming of season eight and is set to air on Sunday, May 26, or one week after the series’ finale. British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay (The Great Hip Hop Hoax) will helm the project.

“Made with unprecedented access, Game of Thrones: 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,” said HBO in a statement. “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.”

The first episode of Game of Thrones‘ final season is set to air on HBO on April 14, 2019. Unlike previous seasons, this one will only have six episodes.

While GoT fans will surely be sad to see their favorite series wrap up, this won’t be the end of World of Westeros on TV screens.  HBO is currently working on a prequel series set “thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones” which will “chronicle the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.” The prequel will enter production at some point in 2019.
