The hysteria surrounding Game of Thrones shows no sign of slowing. With the GoT season 7 finale airing on August 27, 2017, fans are already speculating about season 8. Fans want to know the Game of Thrones season 8 release date and are hoping that the Game of Thrones season 8 script is floating around online.

We have some details about GoT season 8 so watch out for some Game of Thrones season 8 spoilers.
Feature Length Episodes!
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, confirmed that filming for the last season will likely begin in October 2017, “I don’t know what’s going to happen next season. We go back in October, so maybe in the next few weeks, we’ll get the scripts, and I’ll find out. I’m very curious.” HBO’s president of programming, Casey Bloys, hinted that GoT season 8 might be the shortest yet with only six episodes. However, each episode might be feature length meaning we could get two solid hours each week, “I imagine they’ll be longer but…I’m not sure [how long]. Two hours per episode seems like it would be excessive, but it’s a great show, so who knows?”
