Game of Thrones final season will begin in the first half of 2019.
HBO programming president Casey Bloys confirmed the news at the Television Critics Association press tour.
Beyond that, he was tight-lipped about the final six episodes, other than to say: “It’s pretty great.”
Meanwhile a pilot for a prequel series, based on a story created by Jane Goldman and George R.R. Martin, will begin “shooting sometime in the new year. Beyond that, no plans to make other ones.”
Set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones it’s said to focus on “The Long Night,” a period of Westeros history in which humans first fought the dreaded White Walkers.
“We’re just starting the search for director [and] casting director,” Bloys said.
There are four other projects in various stages of development, fate unknown.

1 is getting a pilot, 4 aren’t, HBO have placed their bet. After Stankey’s moral building speech was leaked, where he said that HBO would have to abandon its traditional development, slash costs and ramp up production exponentially to take point in AT&T’s war against Netflix, HBO have now said that nothing is going to change.
