Today HBO confirmed what many Game of Thrones fans had suspected: The eighth and final season adapting George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire will premiere in April 2019.
No, they didn’t say when in April, so there’s still a wait for that information. Not surprising, seeing as the series has another month or so to wrap, per an interview with Maisie Williams earlier this year (during which she also mentioned the April date).
To mark the occasion, HBO released a sweet little montage of all of the deaths and sacrifices demanded by the Iron Throne over the past seven seasons:
Every battle.
Every betrayal.
Every risk.
Every fight.
Every sacrifice.
Every death.
All #ForTheThrone.
There are only six episodes left in the series, so depending when the season 8 premiere airs, the series finale will air in May or June 2019.
So just in time for the release of Winds of Winter then!
@1 – I’m hoping….
I think the Cubs stand a better chance of winning the World Series again before Winds of Winter is released.
The Orioles stand a better chance.
The Lions have a better chance of winning the Superbowl!
Only six episodes……hmmm.
