On Saturday, HBO (producers of Game of Thrones) Programming President
Casey Bloys confirmed that popular TV series- Game of Thrones will end
after its eighth season. Casey appeared at the Television Critics
Association’s summer press tour and was asked about the future of the
show, to which he responded;
“Yes, I think [the showrunners, D. B. Weiss and David Benioff have a
very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do. If I
could get them to do more, I would take 10 seasons but we want to take
their lead with what they could do and what the best version of the show
is.”
On the bright side, he did address rumblings of a spinoff:
“We’ve talked about it,” he said. “It’s not something I’m opposed to but
it has to make sense creatively. I’m not sure the guys can wrap their
heads around it when they are about to start production. We’re open to
it; the guys aren’t opposed to it but there’s no concrete plans right
now.”
