A premiere window has not been confirmed either, which means Sapochnik, Nutter, Weiss and Benioff’s final episodes could arrive in either 2018 or 2019.
After Game of Thrones let slip that fan-favorite director Miguel Sapochnik might return for the final season, HBO has stepped up to confirm his and another revered helmer taking on Season 8.
Fellow Thrones Emmy-winner David Nutter (“The Rains of Castamere”) will also direct an unknown number of episodes in the final season.
For the moment, we know Game of Thrones Season 8 production will kick off in October, though it remains unclear how many episodes are expected to reach the same feature-length as Season 7’s finale.
