HBO hasn’t gotten any more specific than “mid-2017” and “2018,” so if Cunningham is truly in the know, viewers can now start planning season premiere parties with more confidence.
But no, he was giving one of his usual press interviews, as TV stars are wont to do, and he seemingly coughed up some extremely important information about the final two seasons’ premiere dates, which had only been speculated on in the past.
Knowing just how little HBO and Game of Thrones’ creators like to reveal about the show’s future, it’s almost as if Liam Cunningham thought he was speaking into a pillow as the lone occupant of a space shuttle.
