We've known for a while that there will be an epic showdown at Winterfell in season eight, with many of our faves coming together to face down the Night King. The trailer shows Jorah, Brienne, and Grey Worm solemnly awaiting the army of the dead while Varys, Gilly, and baby Sam seem to be taking shelter in what could be the Winterfell crypts. We also see Arya in the midst of battle, as well as running from some sort of mysterious threat through the castle halls.
It's already been confirmed that the battle happens midseason, which means its outcome might not necessarily determine how the season ultimately ends. Could our heroes lose this round? Will they be forced to regroup and retreat south, closer to Cersei and the Golden Company? Will we lose one or more of our favourite characters to the Army of the Dead?
