It’s hard to believe that HBO’s Game of Thrones first hit televisions seven years ago. With a pretty sizable fanbase before production ever began on the show, George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire saga quickly caught hold of audiences all over the world under the guidance of David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. To celebrate this milestone in the […]

In today’s biggest ‘DUH’ moment, HBO confirmed in an email (and also tweet) that yes, Game of Thrones will be returning for season 8 in 2019.  The email also confirmed that the season will consist of six episodes, and that it will be the final season for the high fantasy series.
