All men must die, as they say in Braavos. And by extension, all award-winning fantasy dramas must also die, alas: HBO have confirmed thatGame Of Thrones will conclude at season 8.
We already knew that next season will arrive slightly later than usual, and that it’ll only be seven episodes long. And it had long been rumoured that things would finish up with season 8 – especially given all the key characters appeared to be lining up in preparation for the mother of all wars. Now, we’ve had confirmation from HBO themselves.
“They have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do,” said HBO programming president Casey Bloys, during a Television Critic’s Association event. “Believe me, as the new guy 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.”
Bloys did, however, float the possibility of a future Game of Thronesspin-off series, which could exist in the world of Westeros with a new set of characters.
“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.”
