Set your timers now, promises to be Epic

LOS ANGELES — The eighth and last season of "Game of Thrones" finally has a date with destiny.HBO said Tuesday that the series will return in April 2019 with six episodes to conclude its run.
The fantasy series based on the George R.R. Martin novels has been one of HBO's most successful shows.
A video touting the show's return next year included clips from seasons past showing both living and dead competitors for the crown of Westeros but didn't give a taste of the final episodes.
HBO isn't getting out of the "Game of Thrones" business. A prequel created by Martin and writer-producer Jane Goldman is underway, with Naomi Watts set to star, and other spinoffs are possible.

Definitely not 4/8 as that's a Monday. :p
I've been targeting April 21st for the past six months or so.  That would mean they'd air the Big Little Lies premiere on the night of the True Detective finale to attempt viewership carryover of similar genres.  Then GoT would premiere on the 21st, the week following the BLL finale on April 14th and get all episodes in by May 31st.
