‘Game of Thrones’ to come back for its final season on April 14th

The beginning of the end is here… at least three months from now. Game of Thrones final season will be coming on April 14, 2019. It’s going to be a six-episode season that HBO chief Richard Plepler has previous described as “six movies.” Rumour has it that each episode is 90 minutes long, which is the length of some feature films. This might be the end for Game of Thrones but we’ll still be hearing more tales from George R.R. Martin’s massive world. HBO has several spinoffs in the works. The Long Night, a prequel series set “thousands of years” before the current show, has already been ordered to shoot a pilot.

‘Game of Thrones’ creators will develop new ‘Star Wars’ films

So, the new Solo: A Star Wars Story isn’t the only big news we’re getting from the galaxy far, far away this week. It’s just been announced that the creators of HBO’s Game of Thrones, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, will be coming on board to create a new series of movies for the franchise. These movies “will be separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson, writer-director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” So, yup, there is a whole lot of Star Wars in our futures, ladies and gents. No word yet on the timeline of these films but we’ll definitely hear more when the time comes.

A mobile MMO based on ‘Game of Thrones’ is now up for pre-registration

If you’re suffering from Game of Thrones withdrawals, perhaps an upcoming massive multiplayer online (MMO) game based on the show might hit the spot? Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and HBO Global Licensing, together with game developer Turbine, just unveiled an upcoming game called Game of Thrones: Conquest and they’ve put it up for pre-registration on its official site. If you pre-register for the game you can get US$50 worth of free in-game content when it goes live.  These include Night’s Watch training gear and gold and resources you’ll need to gain control over the Iron Throne.

Yes, this MMO lets you control your own powerful house in Westeros as you’ll try to claim the Iron Throne. You can rule your house however you choose—through giant armies, forged alliances, etc. Of course, you’re expected to defend your own house at the same time. The game is expected to launch later this year on both Android and iOS.

Carpool Karaoke: The Series features the Stark Sisters from GOT

In an attempt to stay topical and hip, Carpool Karaoke featured actresses Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner (Arya and Sansa Stark from the hugely successful Game of Thrones show on HBO). While the two actresses aren't singers, which makes their inclusion something of a departure from the format, they do offer some humourous moments, including speaking like Ned Stark. Check out the teaser video above.
