Cancel This Year Game Of Thrones Officially Won't Be Back Til 2019

Devastation


4 January 2018

If you hoped 2018 would be better than the last - think again.

Game of Thrones is not coming back until 2019, HBO has announced.

Yep, we'll have to wait at least a whole year for the final season of our fave fantasy series - which will consist of just six episodes. 

Series star Sophie Turner previously told Variety production on Season 8 began in October and is set to run into the middle of 2018.

Season 7 of Game of Thrones was the show's highest-rating yet, breaking several records in the process. The season finale was watched by 16.5 million viewers, including people who watched the episode as it aired and night-of streams. Of those, 12.1 million watched the episode as it aired, making it the most-watched episode in series history.

I guess that gives everyone a chance who hasn't watched the series to catch up!
