'Game of Thrones' Season 8 will have multiple 80-minute episodes, HBO confirms
HBO has confirmed Game of Thrones' final supersized episodes, including three that hit the 80-minute mark. While the first two episodes will be around the average Game of Thrones hour, the series' final four episodes will be – as promised – roughly the same runtime as a short feature film.
The first two episode run times were already confirmed, but HBO released all six on Friday.
Episode 1: 54 minutes Episode 2: 58 minutes Episode 3: 1 hours, 22 minutes Episode 4: 1 hour, 18 minutes Episode 5: 1 hour, 20 minutes Episode 6: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Resourceful fans have been sussing out the official episode lengths for months now. Winter is Coming approximated all of them as early as January, thanks to some French press for the show.
On Monday, an online commenter figured out that tinkering with some HBO URLs revealed the exact run times of all six episodes, which are almost exactly as HBO went on to confirm.
Game of Thrones returns April 14.
