Coming Attractions

HBO is breaking its silence on all those Game of Thrones final season episode length rumors.

And their numbers are a little different than what’s been reported by some outlets.

The network put out the official run time for all six episodes in season 8 along with their air dates.

Here they are:

Season 8, episode 1
Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 14 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 0:54

Season 8, episode 2
Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 21 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 0:58

Season 8, episode 3
Debut date: SUNDAY, APRIL 28 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:22

Season 8, episode 4
Debut date: SUNDAY, MAY 5 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:18

Season 8, episode 5
Debut date: SUNDAY, MAY 12 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:20

Season 8, episode 6
Debut date: SUNDAY, MAY 19 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT)
Estimated running time: 1:20


Those last four are clocking in at about 2 hours each avg, so really given normal seasons were avg 50 minutes per episode this will be about the same run time as the old 10 episode seasons were.

I personally like the idea of getting it faster too.

They could have combined the first two and just made it five-two hour episodes and I'd have been good with that as well lol.

Yup they average about 10 hours per season so 80 hours or so by the end, probably need a sleep break or two in there...

PVR works wonders for me as there is always some stupid sports on TV all the time!

So no excuse Jazzy, we have covered all options, lol

[Jazzy]

Note to self:

Cancell HBO, Netflix, Prime.

No PVR... I have IPTV.  I'm OK with those other 2000 channels that do not air Game of Thrones...

I think they have re-runs of crickett games in New Zealand....
