Game of Thrones Season 8 official news, epsiodes, live online options, time and updates

With Season 8 on the horizon, winter's almost over for Game of Thrones. Bummer, we know. But that means someone's finally going to win -- drumroll, please -- the game of thrones, right? Like Jon? Or The Night King? Or some weird incest baby? Hopefully! Below, we're compiling (and updating) everything we know about the HBO hit's final season. Let's do this.

The final season will premiere in April 2019


April 14, to be exact. Fans have waited patiently for nearly a year and a half after the Season 7 finale back at the end of August 2017 for news of Season 8's arrival. A dramatic preview trailer, released in November 2018, revealed that HBO would return in April 2019, although no new footage was unveiled at this time. A frustratingly withholding promo teaser arrived in December (see below), and a brief scene of actual footage of Daenerys arriving at Winterfell and Sansa saying "Winterfell is yours, your grace" came along during the Golden Globes in early January. But it wasn't until the lead up to the premiere of True Detective Season 3 on January 13 that we learned the big date: April 14, 2019.

Since Season 8 will have six episodes total, this would seem to indicate that the final episode will air May 19. Obviously, clear your calendar!

What else happens in the official teaser?


HBO alerted us that it'd be revealing the premiere date a few days ahead of True Detective Season 3 by posting a dorky fake text exchange on Twitter. On Sunday, they dropped the "official tease," a 1:46 promo directed by David Nutter titled "The Crypts of Winterfell." Before it ultimately delivers on the date announcement, we see Jon Snow, Sansa Stark, and Arya Stark walking through the crypts under Winterfell, as voices from their past -- Ned Stark, Lyanna Stark, and Catelyn Stark, to be exact -- speak to them. And then they stop in front of three other statues resembling themselves before the crypt chills and the familiar frost of the White Walkers crackles ominously.

Season 8 will only have six episodes


As far back as April 2016, Benioff and Weiss teased plans for a shorter final season. In an effort to manage the added pressure of creating more original content (the show has far outpaced author George R. R. Martin's source material), the showrunners divvied up GoT's final lap with seven episodes for Season 7 and six for 8. That way they could keep their standards high and deliver quality episodes for fans... and, let's be real, build hype to LeBron-James-in-high-school levels. Viewers can watch  Game of thrones season 8 live stream will be available ogn official website of HBO.

What else has the cast said about the new season?
They're all predictably cryptic -- and on social media bans -- but stoked as hell. Headey said it's "bigger and better than ever." Said Turner: "This season is more a passionate fight for [Sansa] than a political, manipulative kind of fight.... When we all had the read-through for the final season, it was very, very emotional." Cunningham added, "[The scripts are] just, 'Oohs,' and, 'Ahhs.' It is as it was in the past, it is just beautiful storytelling. Huge surprises. Wonderful stuff. I can safely say it will be a fantastic, fantastic finish to this incredible story."

And former star Jason Momoa, after (accidentally) learning some secrets as part of a recent set visit, upped the ante even higher: "It's going to be the greatest thing that's ever aired on TV. It's going to be unbelievable. It's going to fuck up a lot of people." Sounds good.

    1. Q:How To Watch 'Game of Thrones' Season 8 In The UK?,Because You *Need* To Experience This TV Event.

      The clocks may have sprung forward over the weekend, but winter is still coming thanks to the upcoming premiere of the eighth — and final — series of Game of Thrones. Set to be the television event of the decade, you'll definitely want to clear whatever plans you have this month because this is one experience you do not want to miss. Get those viewing parties ready, because here's how to watch Game of Thrones in the UK.

      According to the Telegraph, the final season of Game of Thrones will start on Monday April 15 at 9 p.m. on Sky Atlantic (Sky channel 108), a day after the season premieres in the U.S. However, if you don't want to cut yourself off from all forms of communication on Monday in an effort to avoid spoilers from our pals across the pond, Sky Atlantic is actually simulcasting the first episode when it airs in the States on Sunday April 14. And, according to the Express, they'll be doing this for all the subsequent episodes too. So get ready for a few weeks of late Sunday nights!

      It just means that you'll have to stay up until at least 3 a.m. on a Sunday night to watch it. But in my opinion, a late night sounds a hell of lot better than spending an entire day panicking over spoilers, TBH.

      The excitement is more than palpable for the final season of GoT, but if you're not as caught up as you'd like to be, there is still time to catch up with the past seven seasons before the eighth airs (just). NOW TV has all the previous seasons available to watch, so if you have the attention span of a saint and are able to plough through 67 episodes in the next two weeks — go wild. (Or, if you're brave enough to watch all seven seasons without taking ANY breaks, it would only take you two days and seven hours, according to culture site Fortune. Your pick.)

      GoT fans have been waiting a long time for news of what the eighth and final season will hit their screens, and HBO has really been keeping them on their toes.

      In Jan. 2018, the network announced that season eight would premiere in 2019. Then, in July, it was announced it would be the "first half" of 2019.

      Fast forward to Nov. 2018, the GoT team let fans know that the final season would be airing in April 2019 in tweet that had a teaser trailer accompanied by the caption: "Every battle. Every betrayal. Every risk. Every fight. Every sacrifice. Every death. All #ForTheThrone."

      Then, in Jan. 2019, GoT fans were finally put out of their misery, with an exact premiere date being revealed. Phewf!

      According to Variety, GoT season seven was the show’s highest-rated yet, breaking all sorts of records in telly land. Speaking about the specific numbers, Variety wrote: "The season finale was watched by 16.5 million viewers, including people who watched the episode as it aired and night-of streams. Of those, 12.1 million watched the episode as it aired, making it the most-watched episode in series history." My guess is season eight will prove just as popular.

      The eighth season of Game of Thrones premieres on Monday, April 15 on Sky Atlantic at 9 p.m.
