The collection of 14 images spotlights nearly all of the show’s remaining characters, including Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and even Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham). However, with the exception of one shot that shows Jon and Dany standing close together in a wintry locale, most of the photos merely feature a solitary character staring broodily into the distance. **MORE:** [Your Ultimate Guide to Binge-Watching Every _Game of Thrones_ Episode](http://time.com/5517025/game-of-thrones-binge-watch-recaps/ "undefined") Whether it’s Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) sitting on the Iron Throne or Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) standing on what appears to be the Winterfell balcony, the season 8 scenes captured in HBO’s first-look photos don’t give much away about what’s to come. But what’s new? _Game of Thrones_ returns for its eighth and final season on April 14. See the new season 8 photos below.
