Season 7 of “Game of Thrones” was intense to say the least. Even though it was shorter than the previous seasons, it packed a big punch, and all of the pieces are in place for the writers to move toward their endgame.

Now there are only a few episodes of the series left before it comes to a close, and it sounds like season 8 will be even most intense than season 7. John Bradley who plays Sam Tarly on the show recently spoke to The Huffington Post about what fans can expect from the next season, and he said that it will be high octane from start to finish.
“We assembled a team of directors this year who have been in charge of some of our big episodes in the past. Miguel and David have done some of the standout episodes of previous seasons. Clearly every single episode of the six you’ve got left in Season 8 is gonna be monumental and needs somebody at the helm who’s done that kind of high-stakes, high-octane direction before for us… I think what we used to call Episode 9 in Game of Thrones folklore — the episode when everything comes to a head and you get a lot of spectacular sequences — I think you’re gonna get six ‘Episode 9s’ this year. You can tell that because we’ve got directors who have been in charge of some of the most huge setpieces in the past doing episodes all throughout the season.”
As of this writing the season 8 premiere date for “Game of Thrones” has yet to be announced, so stay tuned for updates.
