We Finally Know When Game Of Thrones Is Coming Back

Game of Thrones fans have spent the past 14-and-a-half months aching for intel on the return of HBO's epic tale, and we finally have something much less vague than 'early next year.' The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will hit TV screens in April 2019.


We don't have an exact date nevertheless, however we can initiate a general five-month countdown, which means in the event you wish to do an evenly paced re-watch of all 67 episodes aired for now, you must be aiming to get through about three or four episodes per week.


in the event you don't have that sort of mental or temporal real estate, you could also just watch this handy 30-second recap that HBO created to remind us of some highlights from mentioned 67 episodes, beginning with Cersei Lannister's (Lena Headey) damning Season 1 warning, as soon as you play the game of thrones you win, or you perish and culminating with Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) Season 7 finale declaration: "There's only one war that matters, and yes it is here."


As scenes flash by, the words "Every battle, every betrayal, every alliance, every risk, every fight, every sacrifice, every oath, every death, is all #ForTheThrone" scroll across the promo.


although this clip doesn't exactly tease any new intelligence on what to expect from the final six episodes, earlier this month Entertainment Weekly announced that the new season will pick up with a scene reminiscent of the show's pilot as soon as King Robert and his procession arrived at Winterfell, only this time it will be Daenerys and her army, and all will have to (somehow) work with each other to conquer the Army of the Dead.
