Game Of Thrones season 7 aired past year and it was recently confirmed that the show's final eighth season won't arrive until 2019.
But HBO boss Casey Bloys recently told Entertainment Weekly that the reason for the delay - and it turns out it's all down to show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss. But none of those series bring in even close to the viewership numbers that HBO enjoys with Game of Thrones, and the return of Big Little Lies or True Detective would have helped soften that blow.
Game of Thrones season eight premiers in 2019.
"What I don't want to do is detract from the final season", Bloys explained. HBO has put out seven incredible seasons so far and the eighth will certainly follow that trend, but when the series finale finally happens fans will be forced to accept it as the definitive end of the story they love so much.

Meanwhile, announced as the Best Motion Picture - Foreign Language was " In the Fade ", a German drama directed by Fatih Akin. There are separate competitions for the best drama film as well as the best comedy and musical picture.
"Here's what I'll tell you: They take the time they need to do the show at its highest level of quality".
Of the five prequel ideas in the works, Bloys said: "I'll do anywhere from zero to five!"
He told TVLine: "Should we go forward and make a pilot and a series, nothing would air on HBO until at least a year after Game of Thrones ends". Though probably more likely one. We have really great writers working on these; it's very exciting. Not everybody is on the same schedule, so I've seen different versions of different things that are potentially exciting. He continued, "We're not using the final season to launch a new show or anything like that".
The duo wanted as much time as they could to make the strongest - and most epic - episodes that they possibly could. It also sounds as if all of the proposed shows are still in early stages, meaning they still have to be finalized, cast, and shot. "Thrones is coming to the end at the right time for me, and everyone involved in it".
