HBO has officially confirmed the rumours that Game of Thrones will end after eight seasons.
The show, one of the most popular on the network, will air its final season in 2018 (with the seventh season airing in 2017).
However, some followers want to see the show go beyond eight seasons, including HBO’s President of Programming Casey Bloys:
“Yes. they have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do,” Bloys said. “Believe me, as the new [programming executive] coming in, if I could get them to do more, I would take 10 more seasons. But we take their lead on what they think they can do the best version of the show.”
There have also been rumours about a possible Game of Thrones spin-off series. Bloys confirmed that there have been discussions on the subject:
“We’ve talked about it, it’s something I’m not opposed to, but of course it has to make sense creatively. I’m not sure that the guys could really wrap their heads around it when they’re just about to start production. It’s a pretty intense production, they’re about to start production soon. I’m open to it. The guys weren’t opposed to it, but there’s no concrete plans for it at this point.”
