Fans of Game Of Thrones might have to wait until 2019 for final series

Jon Snow (Kit Harington) came back from the dead to battle for The North in the last series of the hit show

HBO president says that it’s possible that the final series of Game Of Thrones will now air in 2019, which means fans of the show will have to wait a little longer to know who will take the iron throne.

Casey Bloys said: “Yeah. [showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss] have to write the episodes and figure out the production schedule.

“We’ll have a better sense of that once they get further into the writing.

The makers of the show are making every effort to ensure it goes out in a blaze of glory, so no time or expense will be spared.
