It’s official. Entertainment Weekly reports Game of Thrones‘ final season (season eight) will only consist of six episodes, bringing the series total to 73 episodes.
The hit drama’s seventh and second-to-last season is slated to debut on July 16th. The large cast includes Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Aidan Gillen, Kit Harington, Diana Rigg, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, and Iain Glen.
Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been saying Game of Thrones would end at 73 episodes for some time, and the now the number is confirmed. The upcoming seventh season will consist of seven episodes, leaving the final six for the eighth and final season.
However, while the popular HBO series might be ending, that doesn’t mean the network is leaving Westeros. Earlier, we reported HBO is developing five Game of Thrones spin-offs, all of which are prequels according to author George R.R. Martin.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Game of Thrones? Would you watch the spin-off series?
I am a fan and would hate to see it go. Unique tv with a different epic twist. Please continue.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Yes, bring on the sequels. I don’t believe that extreme sex scenes are necessary as they leave nothing to the imagination.
Hell yes I would watch the spin offs of game of thrones. I love this series and ones like it. This is really how people acted in this era.
Hope Cersei Lannister should make it through the final season and bite the dust.
Of course I will follow any spin off series in the hope that an attempt is made to follow in the footsteps of GoT, the greatest TV series of any genre in history.
