Final Season of 'Game of Thrones' to be premiered in April 2019

LOS ANGELES - Popular and worldwide watched drama of HBO 'Game of Thrones' will be debuting its eighth and final season starting in April, announced the network this Tuesday.

The promotional video featured footage from previous seasons to recap the costly battles that preceded the coming showdown for control of the fictional kingdom of Westeros. The network did not reveal a specific date for the final season’s premiere.

Game of Thrones, which has won multiple Emmy awards, is HBO’s biggest hit ever with some 30 million viewers in the United States and an army of devoted fans worldwide.

The series is based on novels by George RR Martin in a series called A Song of Ice and Fire.

HBO, the premium cable network owned by AT&T, plans to put a large physical and social-media marketing effort behind the upcoming season. Starting November 27, promotions will be spread throughout New York’s Grand Central Station, and 250,000 “Game of Thrones” mass transit MetroCards will be issued.

Some of the final edits of the series are in the works. HBO said in June that it had given a pilot order to a prequel that will take place thousands of years before the events of the current series.
