'Game of Thrones' final season premiere date released

We knew it was April, but HBO Sunday unveiled the official premiere date of the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones”: April 15.

The network unveiled the date, and a teaser trailer for the season, Sunday night before the debut of the third season of “True Detective.” 

The long-awaited final run comes after a long break: The seventh season ended way back in August 2017. The premium-cable network’s highest-rated series will get a six-episode sendoff, its shortest season yet, which means the entire final run will air before the May 31 eligibility cutoff date for the 2019 Emmy Awards.
