As has been the case the last two weeks, the HBO television schedule (which goes six weeks in advance) revealed the runtime for another episode of Game of Thrones’ eighth and final season. Season 8, Episode 4—currently titled “Game of Thrones 71”—has a runtime of 78 minutes.
This 78-minute runtime for Season 8, Episode 4 is four minutes below the record-breaker for Season 8, Episode 3 and two minutes behind the longest episode through seven seasons, the Season 7 finale “The Dragon and the Wolf”.
In case you missed it from the last two weeks, the runtimes for the first three episodes (Episodes 1 and 2, Episode 3) were revealed on Sundays. Here are the Game of Thrones Season 8 runtimes through the first four episodes:
Season 8, Episode 1: 54 minutes
Season 8, Episode 2: 58 minutes
Season 8, Episode 3: 82 minutes
Season 8, Episode 4: 78 minutes
So the third and fourth episodes of the final season are two of the longest three episodes of the series, which is what a lot of fans were hoping for as the epic story comes to a conclusion—and there are still the penultimate episode and the finale runtimes to be revealed.
We would think episode titles for at least the first one or two episodes of Season 8 might be released sometime around next Sunday, as it’ll be April and the Thrones season premiere will be two weeks away. April 14 is quickly approaching.
The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones premieres April 14 at 9:00 PM ET on HBO.
Yes yes yes
This is good to see. I’m hoping the last two are 90+ minutes!
I hope the same.
Let’s go.
Great thank you.
These last 3 weeks will fly by.
Oh boy.
Thanks for finding this!
Can’t wait.
