Yahoo News Game of Thrones season 8 set for an epic episode
Winter is here, and war is coming on Game of Thrones.

And who better to trust behind the camera than Miguel Sapochnik – who directed season six's breathtaking 'Battle of the Bastards' and season five's stunning 'Hardhome'.

After a year's break during season seven, Sapochnik's return is surely something to be excited about.
In the acclaimed 'Battle of the Bastards', Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton faced off in a battle to determine control of Winterfell – which ended in Jon victorious and Ramsay fed to his own dogs.
Meawhile, it has been suggested that the final season will be shooting multiple endings to combat leaks.
