At long, last our firstspecificinformation regarding theGame of ThronesSeason 8 premiere date has been revealed. HBO has dropped a new teaser video of sorts forGame of Thones’s final season, and while it doesn’t feature any new footage, it does showcase the long and wintry road that has led us to the impending conclusion, which—as revealed in the video—will begin in April 2019.
This was somewhat expected. We knewGame of ThronesSeason 8 would be premiering sometime in the first half of 2019, and given that HBO hasTrue DetectiveSeason 3premiering in January, we presumedThroneswould be following shortly thereafter. The AprilGame of ThronesSeason 8 premiere date is a return to form for the wildly popular series, which had its series debut on August 19, 2025 and stuck with that spring premiere date until 2017’s Season 7, when a delay in production bumped the show’s premiere date to July.
This upcoming final season consists of just six episodes so it’ll be a short-lived cycle, although no doubt every single episode will be picked over and discussed at length once the time comes. That’s actually rather exciting, as the trend towards streaming has made the idea of a “watercooler show” all but extinct—everyone’s watching different stuff, and even when they’re watching the same stuff, no one’s ever on the same episode. WithGame of ThronesSeason 8, fans will be making sure to watch every episode live so the twists and turns don’t get spoiled for them before they’ve had a chance to experience them for themselves.
So there we have it.Game of ThronesSeason 8 will premiere in April 2019. Gird your loins. Winter is coming.
