One scene shows Jon Snow returning to Winterfell after escaping the battle with the Night King. The other scene shows a fight between Jaime Lannister and Gendry. Visual effects supervisor Joe Bauer brought on those rumors of a delay when he suggested the series would not be eligible for Emmy voting in 2019.
“In two years we’ll be eligible for the Season 8 work, which we’re just beginning now,” Bauer said to Huffington Post. “We’re going to be toiling away on Season 8 until May of 2019, so it’s eight or nine months away… But the prequel is starting to shoot in February, at least the pilot. So we’ll still have quite a lot to do on Season 8 when they’re beginning.”
HBO has yet to release an official statement on the release of Game of Thrones Season 8.
So does this glimpse of the next season appease you Game of Throne fans until when the premier finally drops….whenever THAT is? Take a stand with us a GVNation.
