Season 8 of Game of Thrones was announced by D.B. Weiss and David Benioff on March 12, 2017. Like the seventh season, Season 8 will be shorter than previous seasons, consisting of six episodes, due to the smaller amount of story content remaining, as well as the increased production values and time required to film episodes involving larger set pieces than in previous seasons. Filming will begin in September 2017.

The season is expected to premiere in late 2018/early 2019.

Like the sixth and seventh seasons, Season 8 will be based on an outline of the two final, presently-unpublished novels in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring.

Season 8 will be the final season of Game of Thrones,though after the conclusion of Season 8 five potential "successor shows", more likely prequels, are certainly possible.

《权力的游戏》官方确认，第八季也就是最后一季只有6集，加上7月16日开播的第七季的7集，也就是说整个系列还有13集就要完结了。

剧集总监David Benioff在接受采访时表示，最初想像一个70小时的电影那样，不过最后出来是一个73小时的漫长电影，仍有起始，高潮和落幕。现在剧集就到了结尾落幕的时候了。“剧集中死去的那些核心角色让我们也很难过，不过还是很开心，最终结局像我们想要的那样。”

当然，大家最关心的还是，哪个角色死了，或者哪个已经死去的角色会不会复活，毕竟在《权力的游戏》里，一切皆有可能。不过，编剧们还是忍住没剧透。

《权力的游戏》第七季马上就要回归了，第七季只有7集，第八季更是只有6集，完结倒计时即将开启。
