Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode Lengths Revealed, So Plan Accordingly

Get prepared to fill your schedule with 432 glorious minutes of Game of Thrones this spring. HBO has reported the complete schedule for the upcoming final season — including air dates and estimated run times for the six remaining episodes — so right now you could figure out the window of time you must keep fully clear down to the minute.


Season 8, as we know, premieres on Sunday, April 14, and it also will debut new episodes every week for the following six weeks. The series finale will be on Sunday, May 19.


No episode is quite long because the 90-minute movies we had been anticipating, yet most come pretty close. The opening two episodes of Season 8 will clock in at just under a hour, with the shortest episode being the premiere at 54 minutes. The remaining four episodes will pack on about 33 percent more story, with each estimated to last roughly a hour and 20 minutes. The longest episode will be the third, with one hour and 22 minutes of the battles, death, and/or fire-breathing dragons teased in the Season 8 trailer.
