There are six episodes in Game of Thrones's eighth and final season.

HBO hit series Game of Thrones has only six episodes in its eighth and final season. In 2011, it premiered on television and ran for eight years and eight seasons until its conclusion in late 2019. The show is adapted from George RR Martin's novel series A Song of Ice and Fire. Despite the wide critical acclaim and huge fan base accumulated during its run, season eight was panned for its rushed storytelling.

Game of Thrones aired from May 17, 2011 to May 19, 2019. The show was written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, each an author in his own right; the show is based on George RR Martin's best-selling book series (A Song Of Ice And Fire). Fictional continents Westeros and Essos provide the setting for the show, while numerous noble families battle each other to control the Seven Kingdoms. The ambivalence in morality, along with the death of many major characters, added an element of unpredictability to it.

The major noble houses of the series, with their history and conflicts, are the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, and Targaryens. Characters caught up in political intrigues, or those involved with warfare and the power struggle, are ultimately forced to fight against a common enemy.

The cast of Game of Thrones includes acting talents such as Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, and Peter Dinklage. Up until its last season, the show was widely hailed for production values and storytelling alike, but ultimately, it generated controversy.
