Fans have to wait till 2019 to see how Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) fares in the Game Of Thrones. — HBO
The wait will be worth it - that’s the message from HBO programming chief Casey Bloys on the decision to push back the final season of Game Of Thrones until 2019. Bloys told Variety the move came at the request of showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who felt they needed more time to deliver the level of spectacle that fans have come to expect from the series. There’s still no word on the length of the six episodes planned for the eighth and final season.
“They take the time they need to do the show at the level of quality they feel comfortable with,” Bloys said on Jan 11 as HBO presented a slew of new programmes at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.
