VIDEO : Final GOT Premiere Announced

The network announced in a trailer released on Tuesday that beginning in April, HBO?s hit Emmy-winning drama ?Game of Thrones? will debut its eighth and final season. Reuters reports the video featured footage from previous seasons to recap the costly battles that preceded the coming showdown for control of the fictional kingdom of Westeros. The network did not reveal a specific date for the final season?s premiere. Several spinoffs of the series are in the works. HBO, owned by AT&T Inc (T.N), said in June that it had given a pilot order to a prequel that will take place thousands of years before the events of the current series.
