With the new season of HBO’s Game of Thrones arriving in April, there’s still quite a while to wait before the hit series offers up anything new for fans. That could be the reason the network has seen fit to release a short blooper reel from the previous season, featuring some of the behind-the-scenes gaffes that occurred during one of the series’ darkest arcs so far.

In the video, the usually sure-footed Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), and even Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish (Aidan Gillen) can be seen tripping over scenery, while Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), and various other members of the cast forget lines, lose a battle with the giggles, and get interrupted by, well … a cat.

The bloopers are culled from the prior, fourth season of Game of Thrones, with the fifth season premiering April 12 at 9pm ET on HBO. The upcoming season is said to be based on the fourth and fifth novels of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, and welcomes new cast members Alexander Siddig, Toby Sebastian, Nell Tiger Free, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Jessica Henwick, Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, DeObia Oparei, Jonathan Pryce, Hannah Waddingham, Enzo Cilenti, Michael Condron, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

The Targaryen civil war will continue. On Thursday, HBO announced the renewal of House of the Dragon for season 3. The news comes days before Sunday's season 2 premiere.

House of the Dragon is based on George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood. Set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles House Targaryen and the war of succession that will lead to its decline. Martin and Ryan Condal co-created the series for HBO.

Game of Thrones’ disappointing finale lost sight of what made the series so great

Daenerys stands above the Unsullied in the Game of Thrones finale.

Ending a TV show well is an infamously hard thing to do. Plenty of great, talented writers have tried and failed over the years, and even more fans have been left disappointed as their favorite shows failed to stick the landing. While bad final episodes have been a part of the TV landscape for decades, no series finale in modern memory has been as universally and passionately detested as Game of Thrones'.

After entertaining millions of viewers for eight years, the HBO drama delivered a final trio of rushed, ham-fisted episodes in May 2019 that brought its story to an incredibly disappointing, unearned conclusion. The show that had long held the TV crown subsequently faded from the world's pop cultural conversations — proving that sometimes the destination is as important as the journey. Many longtime fans seemingly pushed Game of Thrones from their minds altogether, while others decided to place all their hopes for a better ending on the two remaining Song of Ice and Fire books that author George R. R. Martin still hasn't published.

5 years ago, Game of Thrones aired its last great episode. Here’s why it still holds up

Many fans would likely agree that Game of Thrones went out not with a bang, but a profound whimper. After dominating pop culture for nearly 10 years, the hit HBO series concluded with a trio of episodes that were universally reviled by both fans and critics alike. The show's lackluster, ham-fisted finale led to its popularity seemingly vanishing into thin air. In the five years since it aired, time hasn't been kind to Game of Thrones season 8.

To this day, many people still discuss the series' final season with a mix of bitterness and disbelief, and those fans won't find any disagreement about the quality of Game of Thrones' last few chapters here. As disappointing as its eighth season remains, though, April 21 marked the five-year anniversary of its noteworthy second episode, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The fan-favorite installment ranks not only as its season's best chapter, but also as the last great episode that Game of Thrones ever produced.
