As the days move forward, the air date of “Game of Thrones” Season 8 is slowly dawning upon the world. The epic fantasy saga is one of the most watched television series in the industry, pulling in millions of audiences for HBO whenever the network releases a brand-new episode.
What makes “Game of Thrones” so unique is the overarching plotline of the show, complicated narratives, and several relatable characters that captured the hearts of millions of people. It goes without saying that showrunners are giving it their best to make the series spectacular. And with “Game of Thrones” Season 8 being the final installment, the show's creators aren’t pulling any punches in delivering what’s going to be one of the highest viewed TV shows of all time.
Production designer Deborah Riley even said that creating “Game of Thrones” Season 8 almost killed her, Deadline reported. This is a testament to the hard work that people behind the scenes are giving in order to make the show as astonishing as it is.
“The final season nearly killed me. I realized at a certain point that all of the work in previous seasons was just a warm-up for [Game of Thrones] Season 8,” Riley said. “By the end, I had nothing left to give and finished knowing I had done everything I could. Season 8 does not pull any punches and is raw and honest and important. I can’t wait to see it.”
The show’s producers already said that they shot one of the most grueling scenes for “Game of Thrones” Season 8, which reportedly lasted 55 consecutive nights before they wrapped up. The scene is apparently the final showdown between the people of Westeros and the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) and his undead horde.
Unlike most of the previous installments, “Game of Thrones” Season 8 is only going to have six episodes. But with the story coming to its conclusion, showrunners are likely running out of things to include, not to mention they’ll have to tie everything together to make sure there are no loose ends. The air date for the final season has yet to be announced but it’s expected to air in spring 2019, which would be quite poetic given that the final title of the book the show is based upon is “Dreams of Spring.”
