Sorry Game of Thrones fans, the final season wont air until 2019
Like the rest of the world, we're obsessed with Game of Thrones at the SHEmazing HQ.
We waited with bated breath for the arrival of season seven, and now that we're catching up with the goings-on of Westeros, our minds have already wandered to the final season of the iconic show.
The eight season is currently being written, and HBO programming president Corey Bloyes has revealed that it may be a while until we get to see the finished product on our screens.
When asked by Entertainment Weekly if GoT's final season could be as late as 2019, Bloys confirmed it was a 'yeah.'
'Yeah. They have to write the episodes and figure out the production schedule,' he said.
'We’ll have a better sense of that once they get further into the writing.'
Bloyes also quashed rumours of five potential spin-off shows.
While he admitted that there were four or five ideas for spin-offs in the works, he hoped that through careful curation, GoT writers would whittle them down to one amazing concept.
He also let slip that the spin-off also would not be hitting screens until long after the final season has aired.
'That’s not what’s going on. The idea is not to do four shows,' he told Entertainment Weekly.
'The bar set is so high that my hope is to get one show that lives up to it. Also, this is a long-term plan.'
'Our No. 1 goal is the seventh season this summer and getting the eighth season written and aired.'
Until then, we'll be binge-watching season seven.
