Game of Thrones season 8: When it will air, how many episodes, and more

Leaky ship

With a longer production schedule, it will be crucial for HBO to ensure no big Game of Thrones secrets are let loose. Once season 7 began airing, hackers stole a trove of information from the premium cable channel, divulging key plot points from the show in the process.

Despite that, and despite the longer-than-usual wait for season 7 to air, the most recent season was more popular than ever. Now that HBO has left fans with a big cliffhanger leading into the final season, anticipation for the show will be even higher.

We can probably expect plenty set photos to leak out, and there are plenty of theories floating around that may inform us about what could happen. HBO, meanwhile, has already given us clues as to how next season will play out.

For one, once Jon finds out about his true lineage, his relationship with Daenerys will change, and probably not for the better. Cersei, meanwhile, has announced her intentions not to fight the White Walkers, causing her brother to abandon King’s Landing. Most pressing, the Wall has crumbled to bits, letting the Night King and his army through.
