1. Game of Thrones season 8
The last season of Game of Thrones was divided into two parts, with the first one airing in 2018. The new season of Game of Thrones release date is April 14, which means the luckiest fans have already seen the first episode. However, there are many more plot twists to come, and here is what we know so far about the Game of Thrones new season.
- The episode will consist of six episodes, all of which will be longer than usual. The first episode was the shortest one and clocked at 54 minutes, while the Game of Thrones last episode, which will air on May 19, will take you on an unforgettable 1 hour and 20-minute journey.
- There will be plenty of epic battles and scenes throughout the season, but none of them will top the battle that will air a couple of weeks later – according to the cast, it took 55 nights to fully shoot.
- The cast and crew have been very careful about not letting any spoilers out. That’s why all that we now have is guesses about the characters’ fates. However, it has been reported that every major character who came out of last season alive will return to the show.
- Speaking of the way they felt when the learned how the show would end, the stars of Game of Thrones were very emotional. Some of them even cried, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing – after all, they have spent a decade making this show, so, naturally, they will feel sad about it ending.
