If you’re watching the 2019 Super Bowl, you probably saw plenty of Bud Light commercials over the course of the evening–many of which were about corn syrup. However, during one spot in the second quarter, the Bud Knight met his demise at the hands of The Mountain.

It was turning out to be another silly Bud Light ad, where the King and Queen were enjoying a couple of beers and about to watch the Bud Knight triumph during a joust. At least, that’s what they thought would happen.

Sadly, the Bud Knight was knocked off his horse during this exhibition, and the new champion was none other than Gregor Clegane, also known as The Mountain from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Clegane walked up to the fallen knight, and used his thumbs to gouge out his eyes. We’re all presuming the Bud Knight is now dead.

It didn’t end there. A dragon flew overhead and burned everything to the ground. Is “dilly dilly” no more? This was easily one of the oddest commercials during the final NFL game of the season.

While this was a sad moment, we were all reminded that Game of Thrones is returning for its final season this April. The first trailer for the new season aired back in January in a cryptic teaser, which didn’t contain any actual footage. However, it did hint at the fates of members of the Stark family.

Game of Thrones returns to HBO for its final season on April 14 at 9 PM ET / PT. And you can watch the Super Bowl live while the game is still going on.

Super Bowl LIII was replete with trailers, and although movies are often the biggest draw–see: Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame–a few TV shows also caught viewers’ attention. One of these is the upcoming Twilight Zone reboot from Get Out director Jordan Peele. The trailer pulled a bit of a bait and switch on us by interrupting what looked like the official Super Bowl broadcast, before cutting to an empty stadium.

This was all setup to introduce Jordan Peele, who is not only producing the new Twilight Zone series, but is also narrating it. The stadium seems to exist in two different dimensions, with lights flicking on and off, sodas vanishing, and signs also disappearing in mid-air. Peele eventually asks the viewer to question the truth, and also what dimension they’re in.

The Twilight Zone is scheduled to premiere on April 1. The TV series will debut on CBS All Access, and be exclusive for subscribers. The first two episodes will be available for subscribers on Monday, April 1, with new ones releasing on a weekly basis from Thursday, April 11.

Along with Peele, The Twilight Zone’s cast includes Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun.

The first trailer for Us, the new movie from Get Out director Jordan Peele, was an internet sensation. It mixed an unsettling concept with terrifying visual imagery and backed it with an unnerving take on a hip hop classic. Now, a second trailer has been released on Reddit, and while not as artful, it is just as chilling. The first trailer revealed Us would be about a family being hunted by a disturbed versions of themselves. This new trailer teases some of the strange goings on that happen before it all kicks off.

Adelaide Wilson, who is played by Lupita Nyong’o, can be heard talking about how frequently coincidences have been occurring since the family arrived at their beach house. Before long we’re given a quick showcase of the chaos that ensues, as the family are tormented by their darker reflections and forced to deal with the realization that they are up against themselves.

Alongside Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, Us also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther) as Gabe Wilson. Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) and Tim Heidecker join them as members of the Tyler family, with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II from Aquaman and Anna Diop from the DC Universe streaming series Titans, also appearing.

2019 is set to be a big year for Peele. In addition to Us, his take on a new Twilight Zone series will debut on CBS All Access on April 1. Peele will host and narrator of the show, and his production company, Monkeypaw, is set to produce the series. Other cast members for the The Twilight Zone include Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun.

Us comes to theaters on March 19, 2019.

Super Bowl LIII will see the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams facing off against each other. Of course, the Patriots are no strangers to Super Bowl wins, but the night could present a landmark win for the Rams. Either way, it’s sure to be a thrilling game of football. But, if the game itself doesn’t get your blood pumping, there’s plenty of other entertainment on offer.

The Super Bowl kicks off at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET / 11:30 PM GMT, and it is being aired on CBS. This means you can watch the pre-game broadcasts and the actual game on your local CBS affiliate channel. Alternatively, you can stream the Super Bowl at CBS Sports. If you’ve got CBS All Access, you can also watch it live through that.

This year’s half-time show will include a performance from Maroon 5, along with Travis Scott, who is coming hot off the success of his acclaimed 2018 album ASTROWORLD. Also joining them is Big Boi, one half of the legendary Atlanta rap duo Outkast. There’s going to be plenty of other stars at the show, and you can head to ET to see exactly who is in town for the game.

Naturally, outside of the football we’re expecting trailers for the biggest upcoming movies. It’s already been confirmed that Disney will show off Toy Story 4 during the game, but we expect more from the company in addition to this. After all, 2019 is the year Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man: Far From Home will all be releases, so we reckon we’ll get another look at one, if not all, of them.

There’s also going to be plenty of other fun commercials, and some companies have already started teasing what they’ll have. You can check out all of Super Bowl 2019’s commercials so far if you want to get ahead of the commercial game. We’ve also got a look back at the best and worst Super Bowl commercials of all time–that’ll keep you entertained until the event begins.
