Yes, they are not going to be.

Not that Ive seen, anyway.

This year?I would guess so, but I dont know.

What was your reaction just personally to reading the final scripts?

What excites you about the finale?I think its epic.

I think fans are going to love it.

Theres going to be a lot of conversation.

It ends up being a marketing discussion.

Were at a pretty heightened security level.

Obviously, when youre in production theres a higher chance of things getting out.

But in terms of us at HBO our precautions are pretty high as is.

For the prequel pilot, author George R.R.

Martin has suggested the titleThe Long Night.

I heard Max Borensteins prequel script also had some interest.

The development process was very positive.

So it felt distinct.

Were not trying to doGame of Thrones Part II.

No one is going to duplicate what [GoTshowrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] did.

Asyou pointed out earlier, that prequels October start date rumor was bogus.

But theres nothing 100 percent yet.

Is season 3 looking like 2019 or 2020?I dont know.

Is 2019 even possible at this stage?Anythings possible.

So at this point, anything is possible.

The J.J. Abramsspace dramaDemimonde, what excites you about that story?Its epic.

Its a family story.

Whats attractive about it is its a huge canvas but ultimately its about what you do for your kids.
