Sophie Turner HBO Game Of Thrones

It’s bad news for ‘Game Of Thrones’ fans, as the rumours surrounding the final season of the fantasy drama are true – at least according to its star Sophie Turner, who has claimed that the eighth and ultimate season will not premiere until 2019.

The 21 year old English actress, who plays Sansa Stark, spoke to Variety in an interview published on Wednesday (December 6th), and confirmed that season eight of ‘Game of Thrones’ “comes out in 2019” and added there is still “six or seven months left” of filming for it.

Rumours concerning the final six episodes of HBO’s expansive fantasy drama, which made its debut way back in 2011, began when the seventh season concluded back in August. However, HBO did not issue any statements at the time.

HBO Moving Ahead With 'Big Little Lies' Season 2


HBO

Starring the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern, HBO series 'Big Little Lies' - based on the book of the same name and created for television by David E. Kelley - saw huge success following its limited run earlier this year. Originally slated to be a one-off mini-series, many thought the show had already seen its day, but it would seem now that a second season will be moving ahead with the original stars making their return for the comeback.

The original season saw the entire story in the book covered, so anything that does come about in a second season would be a new story built from scratch, but it seems that the critical acclaim the first run of episodes saw was enough for HBO and writers to take on the challenge. Fortunately, original author Liane Moriarty was the person asked to come up with the new story, and it looks like she's been able to do just that.

As chairman and CEO of HBO, Richard Plepler has had some major hits on his hands, but none more so than critically-acclaimed fantasy series 'Game of Thrones'. Based on the incomplete novel series 'A Song of Ice & Fire' by George R. R. Martin, the show has captured the imaginations of millions across the globe since its debut season, but will be bowing out with a final six episodes either next year or in 2019, in season 8.

Despite the original series coming to an end, fans have had some time to prepare and have also been told that they should expect at least one spinoff to come to the HBO network soon after the 'GoT' conclusion. There are a number of spinoffs in development right now, but just how many of them will make it to the small screen remains to be seen.

American Political Satire 'Veep' To End After Seventh Season


HBO Julia Louis-Dreyfus

After seven glorious years, a ton of critical acclaim and a clutch of Emmys to its name, HBO’s political satire ‘Veep’ is to come to an end after its upcoming seventh season.

Variety reported on Wednesday (September 6th) that HBO had announced that ‘Veep’ will conclude after its seventh season, currently due to air in April 2018.

Following the career of the inept and blundering politician Selina Meyer, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and who consistently tries and fails to leave her mark on American politics, ‘Veep’ is a U.S. adaptation of the British BBC political satire ‘The Thick of It’ also penned by the original’s creator Armando Iannucci.

'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Finale Will Have "Biggest Assembly Of Major Characters"


HBO

As the penultimate season of the entire series, season 7 of critically-acclaimed HBO fantasy drama 'Game Of Thrones' has done a lot to impress the patient fandom. Despite only consisting of seven episodes instead of the usual 10 that had made up the six seasons that came before it, the show has been jam-packed full of dramatic moments and swift plot development, so there's huge expectation surrounding this weekend's finale.

Titled 'The Dragon And The Wolf' and coming in at 80 minutes long, the season 7 finale is the longest episode of 'GoT' to-date, and is going to include some of the most prominent characters from the series. Obviously there will be a focus on the relationship shared by Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington), but with 80 minutes to fill, we're sure we'll be seeing some other major scenes as well.

HBO Respond To 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Script Hack


HBO

Over the weekend, a select group of reporters were sent an anonymous email by somebody claiming to be a hacker and who teased "the greatest leak of cyber space era (sic)". They pushed the reporters to spread the "leak" attached to the email, and promised an interview to whichever reporter would spread the word about the hacking furthest. They signed the email off with the blunt statement "HBO is falling."

Though no episodes of 'Game of Thrones' were sent within the email, the hacker released scripts for what is said to be the fourth episode of the hit fantasy series, and claimed to pick up 1.5 terabytes of data. Upcoming episodes of 'Room 104' and 'Ballers' have allegedly also been placed online.

New HBO Show 'Confederate' From 'GoT' Showrunners Causes Controversy


HBO

In the light of their ongoing massive success as directors of ‘Game of Thrones’, showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss announced their newly approved HBO project ‘Confederate’ this week – and have caused sharp division on social media in doing so.

‘Confederate’ is to create an alternative universe of parallel history, in which the Civil War led to the secession of the southern states and in which therefore slavery is still legal.

The show “chronicles the events leading to the Third American Civil War. The series takes place in an alternate timeline, where the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution,” according to the HBO press release on Wednesday (July 19th) according to Entertainment Weekly.

HBO Smash Ratings Record With 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Premiere


HBO

Bosses at HBO are likely to be smiling wide like Cheshire Cats this week, as it's being reported that 16.1 million viewers tuned in for the 'Game of Thrones' season 7 premiere across all of the network's differing distribution platforms. Giving the show its biggest number of viewers to-date, it's up a whopping 50% on last season's premiere, which took in what now looks like a minuscule number of 10.7 million viewers.

The number is not only hugely impressive because it beats out all 'Thrones' episodes that have come before it, but because the show premiered later than usual this time round. Usually taking a higher-performing slot in the spring, the season 7 premiere was held back until the middle of summer, in a position that's usually one of the weakest for performance.
