"Game of Thrones will return for its six-episode, eighth and final season in 2019", HBO announced in a press release.
While we now have a rough idea as to when the remaining six episodes of the show will be shown, HBO declined to reveal when the specific premiere date will be, focusing instead on people involved with the project. Other writers include Dave Hill and Bryan Cogman, who is also a creator one of the Thrones prequel series now being developed at HBO.
"[Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss] have to write the episodes and figure out the production schedule". Cogman, Guymon Casady, Vince Gerardis and George R.R. Martin as co-executive producers. HBO is confirming the final season won't bow until 2019.
The revelation means fans will have to wait longer than ever for the fantasy drama, which has grown its ratings year after year into one of the most popular shows in the world and HBO's biggest hit of all time.
