Sophie Turner, who plays the increasingly hardheaded Sansa Stark, let slip that she fully expected the series to return in 2019, but this is the first HBO has affirmed the timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Season 8 will be the shortest yet, consisting of just six episodes, although some could be extra long. Season 7 saw the series\u2019 shortest-ever and longest-ever episodes, at 50 minutes and 80 minutes, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Although fans waited a couple extra months for the most recent installment \u2015 because the wintry setting required film crews to push production later in the year \u2015 the show usually debuts in the spring. The network has not specified precisely when in 2019 to expect a finale, but there\u2019s a good chance HBO will revert back to a springtime release date for Season 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">By all accounts, the extended waiting period will be worth it, giving showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss more time to craft what might be the most anticipated series finale in television history. With its fiery battle scenes and a deadly ice dragon, Season 7 has already raised production expectations sky-high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">And our lingering questions are many: How will Jon and Dany find out they\u2019re related? What will they do with that disturbing knowledge? Will Cersei seriously have another kid? When is Melisandre coming back? Has everyone died at the Wall??<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Along with Benioff and Weiss, the season will be directed by Miguel Sapochnik, who helmed fan-favorite episodes \u201cHardhome,\u201d \u201cBattle of the Bastards\u201d and \u201cThe Winds of Winter,\u201d and David Nutter, who headed up the infamous \u201cRains of Castamere,\u201d among several other episodes. In short, it\u2019s going to be good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.in\/entry\/game-of-thrones-officially-return-2019_us_5a4e81a2e4b01e1a4b13bdf1<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/entertainment\/game-of-thrones-officially-wont-return-this-year.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Game Of Thrones&#8217; Officially Won&#8217;t Return This Year It\u2019s official: \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d fans have to wait at least a year for its eighth and final season to find out who will win the Iron Throne.
