GAME OF THRONES Season 8 gets air date

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will begin airing on 14 April 2019, HBO have announced.


The final season of Game of Thrones consists of just six episodes, although these are all expected to be at least partially longer than the standard 50-odd minutes in length. Assuming no mid-season breaks, this means that the last-ever Game of Thrones episode will air on 19 May 2019.

The last season of Thrones will be written by Dave Hill (episode 1), Bryan Cogman (episode 2) and the team of David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (episodes 3-6). It will be directed by David Nutter (episodes 1, 2 and 4) and Benioff & Weiss (episode 6), with Miguel Sapochnik handling the apparently "big" third and fifth episodes.

The season may mark the end of Game of Thrones, but not the franchise as a whole. HBO are already developing a spin-off prequel series, with the working title The Long Night, which has a pilot in pre-production.

    I bet that episode 6 is basically the epilouge, I doubt that David and Dan would be directing a big Battle episode.

    What about the Doom of Valyria prequel?

    The Doom of Valyria prequel is on indefinite hold. If the Long Night pilot isn't picked up, they might look at doing a pilot of the Valyria show next, or they may hold it back and do it in a couple of years.
