Shockingly this last season of “Games of thrones” is going to be shorter than the previous seasons.

As a result this epic fantasy will end in May 2019.
The Eighth season of “Game of Thrones” is based on the story lines of “A song of ice and fire” that still not published.
Production
January 2017, Season 8 renewal was put on hold for unknown time. This kind of hold was due to a disagreement between HBO and the showrunners.
They both had a disagreement over the number of episodes that the last season of “Game of throne” will contain.
Benioff and Weiss said they intended 6 for Season 8 but clearly the show-runners wanted to make more than six episodes for this last season of “Game of Thrones”.
“Terminator: Dark Fate” coming soon 2019.
