Game Of Thrones’ final season will be shorter, but the episodes are set to be much longer, ‘delaying’ the HBO drama’s ultimate departure, per Deadline:
While the number of episodes has shrunk, with seven slated for the upcoming season and just six for the yet-to-be-produced final batch, Season 8, the length will likely move toward feature range of 80-plus minutes next season, according to sound designed Paula Fairfield. She said Season 7 episodes will be their customary hour-long duration, but the finale of Season 7 clocks in at 82 minutes. In Season 8, the episode could be in the 80-plus-minute range of a feature film, as series like Sherlock and Black Mirror have done.
Are you pleased for longer episodes, or would you have preferred more episodes? Just ready for the series to end?
Stay tuned as we oversee Game Of Thrones‘ passing into the TV afterlife and monitor the survival status of the planned spinoff show…
