HBO Finally Announces 'Game of Thrones' Season 8 Release Date

From Cosmopolitan

Greetings! Welcome to your Tuesday, also known as the day HBO finally, finally, announced the premiere date for the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones. You may now throw "early 2019" out the window and snuggle up next to the words "April 2019."

And here's the date announcement with a fun #TBT:

By now, you should be able to recite the key details of season eight to anyone who mentions dragons, Jon Snow, or George R. R.

See you in April!
