January 2019, London – Whether its returning favorites or brand-new blockbusters, 2019 is the year to stop binging and start living.

Here’s how you can spend your days, in the lives of TV and cinema screens most loved characters for 2019.

Game of Thrones

Possibly the most anticipated returning series for 2019, Game of Thrones is back for its penultimate (eighth) season. But don’t worry — you don’t have to spend hours re-watching episodes to get your GoT kick. Instead, journey to Northern Ireland. The Dark Hedges, Castle Ward, Ballintoy Harbour, Cushendum Caves and The Haunted Forest can all be found in County Antrim and Country Down.
