It certainly leaves a lot to the imagination, but according to Casey Bloys, HBO programming president, we could get the actual trailer before the end of the year &#8211; as he told <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em> in July.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how the fans reacted to the teaser:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GameOfThrones?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GameOfThrones<\/a> teaser:<\/p>\n<p>THE WOLF AND THE DRAGON FREEZE AND THE LION IS ON FIRE.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT THE HELL!???<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoTS8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GoTS8<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0Qf4P0Bjt9\">pic.twitter.com\/0Qf4P0Bjt9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u03bd\u03b1\u2113 \ud83e\udda2 (@flowerfrost_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/flowerfrost_\/status\/1070801078403428352?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Me concocting elaborate theories based on the Game of Thrones teaser trailer <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CWDRkKBpch\">pic.twitter.com\/CWDRkKBpch<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jenna Guillaume (@JennaGuillaume) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JennaGuillaume\/status\/1070802488402440192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/bribrobaggins\/status\/1071048279805304832<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/saman10javed\/status\/1070935064198897664<\/p>\n<p>This is the second teaser to promote the final season of the series.
