Not content to leave viewers reeling from that abrupt Sharp Objects finale, HBO debuted a pair of trailers Sunday night sure to get its audience all riled up for the rest of 2018 and, even more promising, a jam-packed 2019. The upcoming slate includes Big Little Lies Season 2, the end of Veep, the much-anticipated Flight of the Conchords reunion, True Detective Season 3, and, of course, the final season of Game of Thrones. You can watch the full tease with Meryl Streep, dragons, and more here:

Alas there is barely any new Game of Thrones footage here—just Jon and Sansa awkwardly embracing.

Theres also still no confirmation on when, exactly, that final Thrones season will air. A recent interview with visual effects guru Joe Bauer indicates that the premiere could be as late as May 2019. Though its worth noting that the visual effects for Thrones are usually in progress even after any given season premieres on HBO. In other words, just because Bauer told The Huffington Post he would be working on the show through May, that doesnt mean the season wont premiere in April. We wont know for certain until HBO announces—hopefully not with a block of ice this time.

However we do know when True Detective Season 3 will return. That series got the full trailer treatment this Sunday and, in case you missed it, you can check out the complete video embedded at the top of this post. Though viewers were somewhat let down by a lackluster Season 2, anticipation is high for Season 3 given the amount of time creator Nic Pizzolatto and his various collaborators spent on it and recent Oscar winner Mahershala Ali in the lead role. Its been over two years since the disappointing Season 2 finale, but Season 3 looks to recapture some of that Season 1 magic with a lengthy time jump and a weary, regretful look back at an old case. In addition to Ali, the new trailer shows footage of Mamie Gummer, Scoot McNairy, Stephen Dorff, Ray Fisher, and more all looking worse for wear. Let the existential crises commence when True Detective returns in January 2019.
