It has also been revealed that in addition to the "Game Of Thrones"the other shows of HBO, "Westworld" and "Watchman" series will be aired in 2019.
Further adding to it, he said, "One of the hallmarks of the show has been how cinematic it is. 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."

We’re all trying not to take it for granted any more."
