Game of Thrones Releases Photos From S08E05 And Cersei Is Looking Very Happy

Game of Thrones released nine photos from season 8, episode 5 – the HBO hit’s second-to-final episode.

The images below tease a looming battle for King’s Landing following last week’s rather disastrous attempts to bargain a last-minute surrender by Cersei Lannister, who holds the capital city and has packed her Red Keep fortress with civilians in an attempt to ward off a dragon attack by Daenerys Targaryen.

Cersei Lannister isn’t going down without a fight – and neither is Daenerys Targaryen. But the new episodes from the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones show a happy Cersei and Dany looking a little gloomy.

Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen previously teased the fifth episode would be the biggest one yet.

“Episode five is bigger. Episode five is [exhales] – I mean, four and five and six, they’re all insane, but like…Find the biggest TV you can.”
