Serial Game Of Thrones Season 2

All good things must come to an end, and fans will soon be making their final trip to Westeros. Here's everything we know so far about the eight (and final) season of the hit fantasy epic: When is Games of Thrones season 8 on TV? No firm broadcast date has been given for the final series, but this January HBO confirmed that it will return to our screens some time in 2019. In June last year, 's head of programming Casey Bloys had already admitted that it could be, due to the lengthy writing and production process. In a further crushing blow for Thrones fans, Bloys has also hinted there could be another agonising wait between the end of Game of Thrones and the beginning of the first. 'You’re not going to see anything air anytime close to the season 8 finale,' he said. How many episodes will there be in season 8? The eighth season will be the shortest yet, with only six episodes, making it shorter than the penultimate season (seven episodes), and much shorter than the first six seasons of the show (which had 10 episodes each).

Who is in the final series? All the main cast-members will return for the final series. As this is Game of Thrones, however, we can't be sure who will survive until the very end. Although it is an ensemble show, the cast's salaries might give some indication which characters will be given the most prominence in the final season: in 2017, reported that five cast members – Peter Dinklage (Tyrion), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime), Lena Headey (Cersei), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) – were all being paid $500,000 per episode. Other returning cast members including Liam Cunningham (Davos), Sophie Turner (Sansa), Maisie Williams (Arya), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) and Gwendoline Christie (Brienne). Who will write season 8? The final series will keep the show's four-strong writing team of DB Weiss, David Benioff, Dave Hill and Brian Cogman.

Although was a guest-writer for a few episodes in the show's first four seasons, he will not return for season eight. Hill will write the season premiere and Cogman will write the second episode, while Benioff and Weiss will share the remaining four episodes between them. What will happen in Season 8? Obviously, we don't know, yet – but the answers are out there. According to, showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff were already writing the scripts for the final season during post-production on season seven.

As the scripts already exist (even if in an unfinished form), it's not impossible that there could be an early leak, despite HBO's careful attempts to keep things under wraps. In November 2016, in a post which has since proven to be largely accurate (one spoiler, for instance, predicted that Viserion would be killed and revived by the Night King). If it happened once, it could happen again. What do fans think will happen in Season 8? There have been some particularly inventive fan theories about what to expect from the final series, ranging from the mostly plausible to the downright silly. Some of the more interesting ideas include: that Tyrion Lannister might turn out to be a member of the Targaryen line (as the illegitimate son of Mad King Aerys), that Daenerys will have to sacrifice herself to defeat the White Walkers, and the idea that Bran Stark will (through a mystical, as-yet-unexplained McGuffin) turn out to be the. When asked about this last theory, Isaac Hempstead, the actor who plays Bran told he thought it 'a bit far-fetched.but this is Game of Thrones, and anything is possible.'

How will the final season tie in with George RR Martin's novels?

Damn you George R.R. Don't do movies, finish the damn next book.

Than let's look at the series. Well, above statement has a meaning: I read the books! Yeah, big deal, but when I did I always thought: 'It is not possible to do a movie about this!' And I was right! But they did a series!

And I can't really believe it, but: It (well, the pilot) is quite good! Never expected that! Also funny how many people talk about the nudity and/or the gore. Yes you see some breasts and so on.

This is a fantasy, that is realistic (if you didn't read the books and don't know, what I mean by that: Wait and watch the series. And you will be surprised!) so the scenes are realistic too! Adds more to the feeling of the books! The main problem is, that if you don't know the books you are quite lost with the characters and what happened to all of them. But I hope we will get deeper into the minds and backgrounds of those people! The cast for that is really well done and I hope for they can pass on the feelings I got when I read the book! Overall: Great start, hoping for Brilliance!
