Game of Thrones: The Last Watch took fans behind the scenes, pulling the curtain back on what it took for both cast and crew to make the eighth and final season of the acclaimed fantasy drama.

The docu is a true homage to the show’s unbelievable creative work, which included a team of costumes, hair, makeup, set designers, stunt and special effects people among others. 

“The way Game of Thrones is developed is that every episode has much in it as any feature film but we have to do it quicker and with less money,” said producer Christopher Newman in the docu. According to production designer Deborah Riley, each hour filmed during the eight and final season of GoT cost $15 million or more. “All we were doing in seasons 4, 5, 6 and 7 were training for season 8,” Riley said. David Nutter, who directed three of season eight’s episodes, gave the creative team its much-deserved credit saying he’s simply “a conductor of fine musicians who basically waves his arms around.”

Here’s some things we learned from The Last Watch:

The moment when Kit Harington found out that Jon Snow kills his love and Queen Daenerys in the series finale. The footage of the final table read shows both actors get quite emotional about the fate of their on-screen love.

“I love this show more than anything. It has never been a job for me,” he told the assembled cast, crew and extras afterward, failing to hold back tears. “It has been my life. This will always be the greatest thing I”ll ever do.” 

The behind the scenes of Dany’s braided platinum mane. In earlier seasons, when Clarke’s hair color was darker,  the costumes people hid her hair with a white cap to hide the actress’s dark roots. 

“That is still the most beautiful hair I will ever have on my head,” Clarke said, looking at her braided wig while sitting in hair and makeup.

This coming Sunday will mark the final Game of Thrones episode ever. Let that sink in.

The eighth and final season has been an emotional rollercoaster with each episode as long as a feature film, two massive battles, a couple of characters losing their minds, and even the dragons having a rough time.

The final episode of the final season is bound to bring with it some surrealism that it’s all over, but thankfully HBO will try and ease our withdrawal with a two-hour documentary the week after.

The network has now released the trailer for Game of Thrones: The Last Watch and it seems like we’ll be as emotional as Kit Harington.

“This is strange,” says co-creator D.B. Weiss. “Here we are at the last table read. It’s like looking around and seeing your family.”

The documentary was made by Jeanie Finlay who spent a year on the set to bring us “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.”

Game of Thrones: The Last Watch airs Sunday, May 26.
