Game of Thrones fans, rejoice! HBO just confirmed the series will return for its eighth and final season. The *slightly* bad news? You'll have to wait until 2019. Yes, 2019. (Cue the sighs.)
While Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, accidentally revealed the news earlier this month, this comes from HBO itself so it's *official*, unfortunately. No word on the premiere date yet, but there is one aspect that was made clear: all of the season 8 writers and directors will be men (another long sigh).
HBO confirms what had been widely suspected: The 6-episode final season of #GameofThrones will not arrive until 2019. Directors for new season: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, David Nutter, Miguel Sapochnik. Writers: Benioff/Weiss, Bryan Cogman, Dave Hill.January 4, 2018
Wow they really do not care one lick about hiring women and poc https://t.co/sJxgY9aTsgJanuary 4, 2018
According to the network, there will only be six episodes. 2019, we're waiting for you. (Sorry 2018, we know you just got here.)
