Game Of Thrones SEASON 8 – Release Date & Predictions

Season 8 of Game of Thrones was announced by D.B. Weiss and David Benioff on March 12, 2017. Like the seventh season, Season 8 will be shorter than previous seasons, consisting of six episodes, due to the smaller amount of story content remaining, as well as the increased production values and time required to film episodes involving larger set pieces than in previous seasons. Filming will begin in October 2017.

▶▶▶ The season is expected to premiere in late 2018/early 2019. ◀◀◀

Like the sixth and seventh seasons, Season 8 will be based on an outline of the two final, presently-unpublished novels in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.

Season 8 will be the final season of Game of Thrones, though after the conclusion of Season 8, five potential “successor shows”, more likely prequels, are certainly possible.

◀ Production

For a time in January 2017, Season 8 renewal was put on indefinite hold, due to a disagreement between HBO and the showrunners over the number of episodes it would contain. While originally Benioff and Weiss stated they intended 7 episodes for Season 7 and 6 for Season 8, apparently there was some internal pushback that they should make more than six episodes (whether for story reasons or purely business/budget reasons is unclear).[3] At their SXSW panel on March 12, 2017, Benioff and Weiss announced that Season 8 will consist of the originally planned six episodes. No new writers will be introduced: Dave Hill will write the first episode, Bryan Cogman the second episode, then Benioff and Weiss will divide up the remaining four. George R.R. Martin will not be returning to script another episode. The final season could contain multiple episodes of up to two hours long in length and could be the longest season to date, even though the season only contains 6 episodes.

  1. First outline season 8, episode 1

    HBO LEAK

    First scene: aftermath of the Night King’s attack on Castle
    Black. Tormund and Gendry are able flee the scene. Undead Viserion sets
    Crows and Undead afire. Lord Beric Dondarrion stays behind to fight the
    White Walkers (dies off-screen?), but not before killing the White
    Walker that killed Edd. Edd is stabbed to death by a White Walker.
    Tormund and Gendry ride for Winterfell, whilst we see a burning Castle
    Black in the background.

    Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion, Davos, Jorah, Brienne, Podrick, The Hound,
    Missandei, Varys and Theon arrive in Winterfell. Davos remarks that it
    has gotten much colder and darker since he has left with Jon. Jon and
    Arya are first reunited. Daenerys meets Sansa Stark and Sansa asks
    whether she and Jon are in love now. Daenerys don’t give a proper
    response to that. Sansa doesn’t seem too pleased with Jon returning to
    Winterfell and Daenerys’s presence. Jon notices this and chats with her.
    She mentions Littlefinger’s death and how he has always betrayed them
    right under their nose. She says it is plain stupid to work together
    with Cersei Lannister. The Hound and Arya also have a conversation with
    each other. Arya tells the Hound she didn’t regret to leave him behind
    without having him killed off. The Hound answers that Arya should have
    had him killed off right there, especially with the things he has seen
    beyond the Wall.
    Euron Greyjoy arrives back in King’s Landing with the Golden
    Company and meets up with Cersei Lannister and the commanders of the
    Golden Company in the Throne Room. Cersei thanks Euron for having the
    sellswords shipped to King’s Landing. Cersei orders the
    commander-in-chief to take Storm’s End and to have the army gathered in
    the fortress. Robert Baratheon once told her that the fortress has stood
    for many centuries and she’s sure that it will keep standing during the
    Long Night as well. Since there’s no Baratheon holding the castle any
    longer, it wouldn’t be too difficult to just take it themselves. They’ll
    need to protect themselves during the Great War. Later that night,
    Euron Greyjoy is about to have sex with Cersei Lannister. Euron jokes
    that she won’t miss her brother after she finds out what he can give
    her. Cersei’s face says enough. She isn’t too pleased with Euron in her
    bed. Possible nudity to be seen here. The following morning Euron leaves
    with his ship ‘The Silence’ to ferry the sellswords to Storm’s End to
    take the fortress. After he comes back, he tells Cersei he wants to be
    her king. Inside the Silence, Euron has a conversation with Yara Greyjoy
    about Queen Cersei. Yara point-blank tells him that she knows he isn’t
    interested in being Queen Cersei’s pet/husband at all. Euron laughs and
    tells her his good friends from Braavos will take care of that problem
    soon enough.

    Daenerys, Jon, Sansa, Tyrion, Davos, Missandei, Sam, Varys, the
    Northern Lords and the Knights of the Vale gather in the Great Hall of
    Winterfell. Sweetrobin and Yohn Royce are also present in this scene.
    Sam reunites with Jon and the two share a hug. Jon tells Sam he’s glad
    to have him back. The Northern Lords aren’t too pleased to accept
    Daenerys as their Queen. Daenerys defends herself very well, but she
    doesn’t get the support of the North just yet. Lyanna Mormont tells
    Daenerys Targaryen that she will never call her ‘Your Grace’, because
    she only knows one King and that’s Jon Snow, the King in the North.

     Tyrion smiles and mentions that she’s a ferocious girl on which Jorah
    replies that Mormonts don’t stand back for anything. Jon tells them
    there’s no time to argue with each other and brings up that there hasn’t
    been word of the Lannister army yet. Sansa responds that she warned
    them not to trust Cersei Lannister. Tyrion mentions that they can trust
    his brother Jaime but Daenerys doesn’t seem to agree on this one. The
    group discusses how they will defend the North against the Night King’s
    army. Jon Snow tells Robin it’s wise to bring the Eyrie into the fold
    and to lure the Night King in there. Robin doesn’t really seem to care
    and accepts Jon’s proposal. After the meeting, Daenerys tells Jon that
    the Northerners really are stubborn and small-minded people.

    Theon Greyjoy visits the Godswood of Winterfell and thinks of his
    friend Robb when and meets with Bran Stark. He immediately apologizes
    to Bran for everything he has done against House Stark, but Bran tells
    him there’s no need for that. He knows that Theon has redeemed himself
    by saving his sister Sansa. He has seen how much he has suffered at the
    hands of Ramsay Bolton. Theon asks him how he knows all of this but Bran
    doesn’t respond to that. Arya and Brienne are training and Jon is
    impressed by his sister’s fighting skills. Arya mentions that he has
    never forgotten to stick her enemies with the pointy end. He asks Arya
    why she didn’t join the meeting in the Great Hall of Winterfell. Arya
    answers that Sansa is way better in those things than she is.

    In Volantis, Lady Melisandre enters the Red Temple. She’s again
    welcomed by Kinvara. Melisandre tells Kinvara that she’s played her part
    in the Great War to come. She has united ice and fire. She has served
    King Jon Snow, the prince who was promised and brought him back to life.
    Kinvara tells Melisandre that she’s served their God well on that part,
    but she also made a lot of mistakes where she needs to pay for. Kinvara
    tells Melisandre that their God demands one more sacrifice of
    Melisandre which requires her to return to the North. Melisandre answers
    that she isn’t allowed to enter the North. Kinvara smiles and answers
    Melisandre that she could benefit from her punishment then. We see Jaime Lannister at an inn when he meets up with Bronn.
    Jaime’s surprised to see Bronn and asks him why he followed him. Bronn
    answers that there’s nothing left for him in that stinking city and he’s
    up for some adventure in the North. Jaime is glad to have Bronn next to
    his side. Bronn asks Jaime why he has left the woman he loves the most,
    but Jaime doesn’t fully respond to his question. He then asks what he’s
    planning to do now he has left King’s Landing. Jaime tells Bronn he’s
    on his way to Riverrun to bring the garrisoned Lannister army back to
    the fold. Bronn asks him why he would give up the castle he has been
    occupying. Jaime answers what purpose that would have? What does he gain
    with that? For all he cares, Edmure can have Riverrun back.

    Tormund and Gendry arrive in Winterfell. Jon Snow asks Sansa why
    Bran didn’t take the time to join the meeting in the Great Hall and even
    didn’t came to speak to him. Sansa tells Jon Bran has changed a lot and
    calls himself ‘the Three-Eyed Raven’ now. She tells him not to expect
    much of a conversation with him. Samwell comes in between and tells Jon
    there’s something he and Bran urgently needs to tell him. Bran first
    sees Jon in the Godswood when he’s looking into the past. Jon mentions
    that he has encountered a warg beyond the Wall. Sam responds that Bran
    is much more than a warg, he’s a greenseer. The two inform Jon Snow
    about his parentage, which Jon doesn’t seem to believe at first sight.
    Bran tells Jon he knows everything about him. He saw him beyond the
    Wall, surrounded by Free Folk. He saw him fighting at Hardhome against
    the Night King and he saw how he was stabbed to death by his own men.
    Jon can’t really believe he’s a Targaryen. Sam mentions that he’s the
    one with the right claim on the Iron Throne, not Daenerys Targaryen but
    Aegon Targaryen.
