Don't even think about packing away your mittens early next spring because winter is scheduled to land in full force come April.
HBO is slowly circling a potential release date for the final season of "Game of Thrones," announcing Tuesday that it'll be in April 2019.
The premium cable provider shared the news with a 30-second video featuring a montage of the show's greatest hits _ in some cases literally _ before announcing the release month.
It's great news for fans always desperate for the slightest bit of intel about the sprawling fantasy series. Previously HBO had only let on that the six-episode eighth season would air sometime in 2019.
