It has been rumored that the last batch of episodes for Game of Thrones won’t premiere in 2018 but in 2019.
Speaking with Variety, star Sophie Turner confirmed this, revealing the series wouldn’t be back until 2019.
The actress also spoke about her character’s place in the final six episodes of the series, saying:
“It’s going to be tricky for her, because at the end of last season, she felt that she had everything set up. She had her family back together. They were in control of the North again. This season, there’s a new threat, and all of a sudden she finds herself somewhat back in the deep end. And without Littlefinger, it’s a test for her of whether she can get through it. It’s a big challenge for her, without this master manipulator having her back. This season is more a passionate fight for her than a political, manipulative kind of fight.”
On a happier Note, when Game of Thrones returns in 2019 it will be with giant-sized episodes!
