Game of Thrones - Season 8 (The Final Season) - Confirmed to Return in 2019

Update: Seems UK Metro got the "April" date wrong.

Thanks to Game of Thrones fans for the heads up.

We wrap in December and we air our first episode in April [2019]. That’s a four-month turnaround for these huge episodes. There’s a lot that goes into the final edit. You would not want to rush this season at all. We owe it to our audience and our fans to really do this final season to the best of our abilities.
