Less only means more for "Game of Thrones". While it has been confirmed that the eighth and final season of "Game of Thrones" will only consist of six episodes, we may see our favorite characters longer on screen every week.

At the first "Game of Thrones" fan convention, Con of Thrones, which wrapped up on Sunday, July 2, sound designer Paula Fairfield revealed that season 8 episodes would run 80 minutes or longer. "Final season they're considering making each ep feature length!" an audience member at the panel tweeted.
