Deleted scenes, cast reunions and more: New Game of Thrones boxsets coming in December

Game of Thrones is over, but Game of Thrones merch is still coming, most obviously with upcoming home video boxsets for both season 8 and the season as a whole. And the special features are looking extremely interesting.

First, let’s look at the covers, starting with the season 8 Blu-ray boxset, also available on DVD:

It’s the Iron Throne. It’s a dragon. It’s madness. The season 8 boxset will also be available in a Steelbook version and in 4K Ultra HD.

And here’s the cover for the ordinary version of the Complete Series Boxset:

Ice, fire, ravens and a throne. Very asymmetrical.

But really, the star here is the limited edition ultra-deluxe version of the Complete Collection, which includes nine panels with intricate illustrations by Robert “Beautiful Death” Ball, all of it set in a custom-designed wooden-shadow box case.

It’s beautiful, but I’ll let this video from the Game of Thrones YouTube channel do most of the talking:

Here are the special features you can expect on each of the sets:

Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection

• Game of Thrones: Reunion Special: A reunion show shot live in Belfast with the cast, both past and present, hosted by Conan O’Brien and available exclusively on these complete series collections. The reunion special is assembled in segments focused on Houses Lannister, Stark, and Targaryen and concludes with the key players all onstage for their final reflections on the years they shared in Westeros and Essos. It features cast members from the final season as well as old favorites like Sean Bean, Jason Momoa, Mark Addy and “many more.”
• Bonus content and retail exclusive videos from previously released individual season box sets, totaling more than 15 hours of extra materials for fans to explore when they’ve finished watching the series.

Complete Series and Season 8 formats also feature:

• Game of Thrones: The Last Watch: A documentary featured on DVD in two parts by filmmaker Jeanie Finlay chronicling the making of the final season.
• When Winter Falls: Exclusive 30-minute featurette with showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, along with major stars and behind-the-scenes players, breaking down all that went into the colossal filming of the “Battle of Winterfell” in Season 8, Episode 3.
• Duty is the Death of Love: A compelling look at how the team behind Game of Thrones and its major stars, including Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke, brought the show to its conclusion in the series finale, “The Iron Throne.”
• Audio Commentaries: 10 Audio Commentaries with cast and crew, including the show’s creators, Benioff and Weiss, on the final season.
• Deleted and Extended Scenes: Five never-before-seen deleted or extended scenes from season 8.
• Histories and Lore: New animated pieces giving the history and background of notable season 8 locations and storylines.

You can see a preview from the reunion special here. If the whole thing is as delightful as that, we’re in for a treat.
