In HBO's ongoing fanfare celebrating Game of Thrones's 10-year anniversary all this month, a recent three-word tweet ("Winter is coming") has once again energized fans hoping the show's final season will get a remake. The seemingly innocuous tweet is a continuation of recent activity on the show's official account--daily tweeting phrases or short quotes from the series.

　　Demand for a Season 8 remake has been front of mind for the most vocal portions of Game of Thrones fandom, as HBO also recently released a trailer showcasing that season's dramatic highlights and digital effects. Instead, within 24 hours of that clip being uploaded, fans who commented were activated enough to reach a passionate consensus that a remake must happen.

　　As with YouTube comments sections, which are widely understood to be a free-for-all, replies on Twitter have ranged from relitigating how the season "ruined the series" to scattered fond memories to people posting weather maps for their area to confirm that, yes, snowstorms are in the forecast. Despite the series only finishing up in 2019, there's also a growing demand for a revival series.

　　While a remake may not be in the cards, what's on the horizon instead is the franchise's next iteration, House of the Dragon, which is expected to begin production this year. Creator George R. R. Martin, meanwhile, recently announced he's working on a Broadway version of his fantasy epic that will "tell the whole story."
