"Game of Thrones" viewers will have to wait until next year to see how the HBO drama will come to an end.

《权力的游戏》的观众们要等到明年才能在电视上看到这部HBO大剧的结局是什么样的了。

While it's been speculated the final season of the series would not air until 2019, HBO made the news official a few days ago.

该剧的最终季一直被推测要到2019年才能播出，而HBO官方于日前证实了这一说法。

"'Game of Thrones' will return for its six-episode, eighth and final season in 2019," the network announced via Twitter.

该电视网通过推特宣布称：“《权利的游戏》第八季，也就是最终季，共六集，将于2019年回归。”

"David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, David Nutter¹ and Miguel Sapochnik will be the directors for the new season. Writers for the new season are David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill."

大卫·贝尼奥夫、D·B·威斯、大卫·奈特和明格尔·萨普什尼将会担任本季的导演，而本季的编剧是大卫·贝尼奥夫、D·B·威斯、布莱恩·克格曼和大卫·希尔。

HBO made it known last year that the hit series would end with Season 8. Season 7, which had only seven episodes, concluded on August 27.

HBO于去年宣布了这部热播剧将会在第八季结束。第七季只有七集，于8月27日完结。

HBO programming president Casey Bloys said in September that the show is taking measures avoid revealing its ending by shooting multiple variations.

去年九月，HBO节目总裁凯西·布洛伊斯表示，为了避免该剧集的结局泄露，HBO将会拍多个版本的不同结局。
