HBO Finally Confirms Game of Thrones Comes Back in 2019
There have been speculations for a long time now that hit series Game of Thrones would not come back to our screens in 2018. Well, now those speculations have been confirmed, as HBO announced on Thursday that the show’s final season will not air until 2019.
The very short announcement was made on HBO’s main page:
The epic fantasy series Game of Thrones will return for its six-episode, eighth and final season in 2019.
David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik will be the directors for the new season. Writers for the new season are David Benioff & D.B. Weiss, Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill.
This news comes as no surprise, as some people involved in the project have stated before that the show would not come back for a while.
This will be the final season of Game of Thrones and surely David Benioff and D.B. Weiss want to put out the best they can. Filming of the series started last October and it is rumoured to last until summer of this year.

“Battle of the Bastards” Director to Return for Game of Thrones Season 8
The list of director for the final season of Game of Thrones is finally here, and you’re going to love it.
The medieval drama is bringing in Miguel Sapochnik and David Nutter, both men have directed episodes of the series before, and some great episodes, for that matter.
Sapochnik directed the action-packed “Battle of the Bastards,” as well as the season 6 finale “The Winds of Winter.” Sapochnik won an Emmy for his work on Game of Thrones last year, but took a break from the show’s seventh season to shoot Netflix’s Altered Carbon.
Nutter, on the other hand, has also worked on some of the series most iconic episodes. He notably directed the Red Wedding episode, “The Rains of Castamere,” which has fans a bit worried for all their favourite characters; as well as the season 5 finale, “Mother’s Mercy.” Nutter’s other credits include series like Arrow, The Flash and The X Files.
Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss are also going back to directing in this final season. The duo has the honour to direct no less than the final episode of the series.
Game of Thrones begins filming in October, and production is expected to go until August of next year, with rumours to premiere in 2019.
Emilia Clarke Ditches Blonde Wig For Game of Throne Season 8
Emilia Clarke has channelled her inner Targaryen with a new look.
The actress, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, is originally a brunette and has been wearing a platinum blonde gorgeous wig for the past seven seasons of the show.
Now that has changed. Clarke posted a picture to her Instagram account showing off her newly dyed platinum hair.
This means the actress might just wear extensions during the final season of the show instead of the usual full wig… or maybe we’re getting a short-haired Dany?

Clarke later posted another picture describing her journey as a blond woman.
There’s no doubt, this is definitely a change!

Game of Thrones Actor Reveals When Season 8 Will Start Filming
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau revealed in an interview with Collider that season 8 of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones will start filming in October.
Here’s what Coster-Waldau had to say:
“I knew what was going to happen for the first three seasons. After that, it’s been a season at a time. You get the scripts a month before we start shooting, or six weeks, and then you know what’s going to happen that season. But, I don’t know what’s going to happen next season. We go back in October, so maybe in the next few weeks, we’ll get the scripts and I’ll find out. I’m very curious.”
This October start is a later date than usual, but it’s still good considering the rumours that we might not get season 8 until 2019.
However, Game of Thrones season finale is expected to have a lengthy post-production stage, which means that if filming were to wrap up sometime in February, we might not be able to watch Season 8 until September 2018… maybe even longer, considering the amount of battles, white walkers, dragons and direwolves we might be seeing during the last season.
For now, we’re gonna have to just wait for HBO to confirm a premiere date.

Season 8 of Game of Thrones May Not Air Until 2019
There have been talks for a while now that the final season of Game of Thrones might not air until 2019, now those rumours are pretty much confirmed.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, programming president Casey Bloys said that depending on how long it takes creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss to write Season 8, we might have to wait two full years after Season 7 is done before Game of Thrones comes back.
However, not everything is bad news. sound designer Paula Fairfield confirmed that we might get feature-length episodes throughout the season instead of the usual hour-long ones, so we’re basically getting a full-length season with the 6 episodes.
Fairfield also said that the last episode of Season 7 will be 82 minutes long!
Season 7 of Game of Thrones premieres Sunday, July 16.
