Budget per episode is about £11.2 million (compared to Game Of Thrones's average £5 million per episode) breezily topping The Crown’s budget of $100 million for two seasons, which weighs in at about $5 million or £3.7million per Netflix episode (previously the most expensive season budget in history).
3. Is it the end?
Yes, sadly. The president of programming at HBO Michael Lombardo confirmed that season 8 is final.

5. About the final battle
The battle scene was being shot during 55 nights!
6. Bryan Cogman about the final
