Game of Thrones fans can cross out that reported date for season 8 because it?s evidently false. It was reported earlier that Game of Thrones star, Maisie Williams, had stated the highly anticipated final season would begin airing in April 2019 on HBO. According to, the now refuted quote, that was reported by Metro, Game of Thrones would finish filming in December 2018. This would give the show a shocking few amount of months, four to be exact, to bring the final season to air.
