Winter is here, Game Of Thrones fans, but you're going to have to be patient. Sophie Turner told Variety that the eighth and final season of GoT won't air until 2019, commenting, "I'm really excited. Game of Thrones comes out in 2019."The actress, who plays Sansa Stark, explained that HBO's hit series still has "six or seven months left" of production, before joking, "we started in October, so we’re maybe like a tenth of the way through."She then went on to discuss how emotional the cast found their final script read throughs, adding that they're trying to make the most of their time together before GoT comes to an end."When we all had the read-through for the final season, it was very, very emotional", she said. "For the first time in Thrones history, we had everyone there. All of the Americans wanted to come over. Every single cast member was pretty much there."We’re all kind of feeling the end of it coming. We’re all staying in town a little longer, going out for more meals, trying to get together more. We’re all trying not to take it for granted any more."Sophie's confirmation that the final instalment won't air until 2019 comes as HBO president Casey Bloys previously hinted to Entertainment Weekly that production would be delayed because they wanted the episodes to be as "cinematic" and "impressive" as possible."One of the hallmarks of the show has been how cinematic it is", he explained. "The show has proven that TV is every bit as impressive and in many cases more so, than film. What they're doing is monumental. What I imagine season 8 will be a big, big show. We've done a lot of great shows, but this one combines the complex characters we love with a huge cinematic scope."Mark 2019 in your diaries, GoT fans: winter is here.
