The final season of ‘Game Of Thrones’ is only moments away. However, whilst the lead up to the final season of the HBO fantasy series should be a time of excitement and celebration, showrunners Damien Benioff and D.W. Weiss have conceded that they are ‘shitting themselves,’ about an unfortunate scheduling clash.

‘Of course Billions is airing new episodes on Stan,’ Weiss told The Obiter.

‘Just our fucking luck.’

‘Way to piss on our parade, Paul Giamatti and guy from Homeland,’ tweeted a livid Kit Harrington.

The atmosphere at the premiere of the first episode of the final season could be described as low-energy and tired. ‘We had all these empty seats at the event,’ an HBO spokeswoman recounted.

‘Apparently, even members of the GoT cast had opted to have a night in and binge Billions. Who can blame them? It’s about money and stuff, I think.’

Such a shame for the cast and crew of the niche fantasy series, with a small but dedicated following, that they had to premiere their last episodes at the same time as megahit phenomenon Bill-fucking-ions.

We can’t all be the best.

Nah legit though, does anyone watch Billions? Like, I feel like it’s on billboards and in my Insta feed as a sponsored post all the time but I can’t with honesty say I have ever spoken to a sentient human who has watched it.

Weird. Snore to come!
