There, Benioff and Weiss revealed how they first imagined the series ending at the end of the third season.
Earlier in the week Vladimir Furdik, the actor who plays the Night King, dished details about the show’s sure-to-be epic final battle to the Hungarian website Sorozat Wiki.
‘In the third part of the last season, there is a battle that the creators intend to be the biggest in television history. Almost the full episode will be about the battle, it will take about an hour.’
The final season will be just six-episodes long.
