In case you somehow weren’t already aware, Game Of Thrones will end after its eighth season, which is probably coming sometime next year. That conclusion will have virtually the same effect on HBO’s ratings as it will your Sunday nights—leave them utterly devoid of meaning. And so the premium-cable network is trying to retain some of that magic by snapping up a limited series starring Jon Snow himself, Kit Harington. As Deadline reports, HBO has picked up the BBC One drama Gunpowder, which is based on the real-life events that led to the establishing of Guy Fawkes Day.
