We finally know exactly when to expect winter to come.
HBO announced Tuesday that its hugely popular series “Game of Thrones” will premiere in April 2019 for what will be its eighth and final season.
But before you get excited about a new trailer that gives a sneak peek of the drama to come: don’t. The video announcing the premiere timeline is mostly a recap of the entire series so far, accompanied by a voice-over and hashtag (#ForTheThrone) to remind us what this is all about.
Basically, somebody better be sitting on that iron throne when all is said and done.
The last official news we received from HBO was nearly a year ago, when the premium network promised “GoT” would return in 2019. And while HBO always keeps its cards close to the chest, we do know a few things about this final season — which will air 20 months after the last time we saw any new episodes — and can make some educated guesses about what to expect.
