You’ll notice that the first two episodes have a pretty standard runtime at just under an hour. However, the last four episodes of Game of Thrones will all be close to 90 minutes in length. It might also be worth noting that Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 3 is already being hyped as the epic Battle of Winterfell. It’s supposed to be one of the longest extending battle sequences in film or television history.
