"It's spectacle," HBO's Richard Plepler told Variety in January. He said writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss "have done six movies. The reaction I had while watching them was, 'I'm watching a movie.' They knew the bar was high. They've exceeded the bar. I've watched them twice without any CGI and I'm in awe. Everybody's in for an extraordinary treat of storytelling and of magical, magical production."
HBO also teased that this season will feature the longest battle sequence ever committed to film.
"Game of Thrones" has been the cornerstone of HBO's streaming service for nearly a decade, garnering critical acclaim and a passionate fan base.
The company, owned by AT&T, has been in the process of finding new ways to draw subscribers to its service as the fantasy epic heads for its final bow. Shows like "Westworld," "Barry," "True Detective" and "Big Little Lies" are already performing well for the company.
HBO has a number of new projects in the works for 2019 and beyond, including "Lovecraft Country" from Jordan Peele ("Get Out") and J.J. Abrams ("Lost"), and a series based on the graphic novel "Watchmen" from Damon Lindelof ("The Leftovers").
