The final season of?Game Of Thrones' is set to debut in the 'first half' of next year, according to Casey Bloys, HBO's programming president.
HBO節(jié)目部負(fù)責(zé)人凱西·布洛斯說，《權(quán)力的游戲》最終季將于明年上半年首播。

Speaking at the Television Critics Association summer event on Wednesday in Beverly Hills, California, he adeptly avoided confirming any more about the highly-anticipated?eighth season of the hit fantasy show.
周三，他出席在加州貝弗利山舉行的電視評論家協(xié)會夏季活動(dòng)時(shí)，巧妙避開了對這部備受期待的熱門美劇第八季的更多透露。

But, speaking to Deadline, he said of the upcoming prequel, currently using the working title The Long Night, that: 'There are very strong female characters but it's an ensembles, there is men and women.’
但他同《Deadline》網(wǎng)站談到了即將上映的暫定名字為“長夜”的這部前傳，“有非常強(qiáng)大的女性角色，但這是一個(gè)群戲，男人和女人都是如此。”

Discussing the show further, Bloys added: 'Jane [Goldman, the prequel's scriptwriter] is a very good writer, we don't want to limit her to writing female leads. There are a lot of very complicated leads in [the pilot].’
在進(jìn)一步討論這個(gè)節(jié)目時(shí)，布洛斯補(bǔ)充道：“簡（高曼，前傳編劇）是一位優(yōu)秀的編劇，我們不想限制她寫女主角?！痹谠噷懙膭”纠镉泻芏喾浅?fù)雜的主角。”

Of writing the new series, he noted that Goldman 'did not go into that wanting to answer anything about Game of Thrones; it was the story that spoke to her.’
談及撰寫新系列，他指出高曼“并沒有投入于回答《權(quán)力的游戲》的任何問題；是這個(gè)故事告訴了她答案?！?/div>

Bloys confirmed that the prequel will begin production in 2019, refuting claims that filming would begin in October of this year, as he said: 'When I say we're hoping to go into production in 2019, we have to find a director, we have to cast it.’
布洛斯證實(shí)，前傳將于2019年開始制作，這駁斥了今年10月開始拍攝的說法，他說：“在我說我們希望在2019年投入制作的時(shí)候，我們必須找到導(dǎo)演，我們必須選好演員?！?/div>

HBO have previously described the spin-off as: 'Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world's descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.
HBO此前曾將這一衍生劇描述為：“發(fā)生在《權(quán)力的游戲》發(fā)生數(shù)千年之前，該系列記錄了黃金的英雄紀(jì)元時(shí)代進(jìn)入最黑暗時(shí)刻的過程。

'And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros's history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East, to the Starks of legend … it's not the story we think we know.'
只有一件事是肯定的：從維斯特洛歷史中恐怖的秘密，到異鬼的真正起源，從神秘的東方大陸到傳奇的史塔克家族……這不是我們自以為知道的故事?！?/div>
