‘Game of Thrones’: HBO Reveals Length of Series Finale Episode

And the five others included in Season 8

HBO has confirmed the air dates and estimated runtimes for the final six episodes of “Game of Thrones,” including the series finale.

And though the first two episodes of the show’s eighth and final season are just shy of an hour — as TheWrap previously reported they would be — the final four are all super-sized installments. And yes that includes the long-awaited series finale, which clocks in at an hour and 20 minutes, and Episode 803, the big Battle of Winterfell one that took 55 nights’ worth of shooting to complete.

An individual with knowledge tells TheWrap there is a possibility the runtimes are subject to slight adjustment.

Now we still don’t have any episode titles, but winter — er, the “Game of Thrones” Season 8 premiere, is coming in less than a month, so the title is coming then too, if not sooner.

Last Tuesday, the long-awaited final season trailer finally dropped, and was viewed 81 million times across Facebook, Twitter and YouTube combined in its first 24 hours — setting a record for HBO.
