GAME OF THRONES Returns in April 2019

Like Jon Snow, while we know little to nothing about the wherefores and whys of Game of Thrones season 8, we at least sort of know a when now: The final season of the HBO series will premiere in April [date not mentioned] 2019, according to a tweet sent out by the network this morning.

Otherwise, we don’t know anything about the season, as HBO and all involved have been tight-lipped on the details. A sound designer for the show did mention that each of the remaining six episodes will skew more toward 80 minutes instead of the series’ standard 60-minute episodes, but take that with a grain of salt.

We still have time to rewatch the previous GOT episodes prior to April, courtesy of HBO, HBO Go, HBO Now, and the various channel add-ons on services like Hulu.
