Game of Thrones' season finale to be shows longest episode

Game of Thrones' sixth season is ending later this month, and Entertainment Weekly has confirmed its final episode is going to stretch out over 69 minutes.

That'll make it the longest episode in the show's history, a title it's nabbing from season four's 66-minute finale "The Children," The Verge reports.

HBO also revealed the titles of the season's last two episodes, one of which refers to a specific event that's been sitting on the horizon for most of the season. That's "The Battle of the Bastards," the season's penultimate episode. While it's not quite as long as the finale, it's still going to crack the 60-minute mark, and its title suggests Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton will have the Winterfell showdown everyone's been waiting for. It'll air on June 19th.

The season finale is called "The Winds of Winter," and book fans are probably quite familiar with that title: it's the name of the as-yet-unreleased sixth novel in George R.R. Martin's series.
