Michael Lombardo , president of HBO Programming , said at the Television Critics Association crush event today that the oft - quoted “ seven time of year ” plan for Game of Thrones is now out the windowpane . rather , the showrunners currently trust it ’ll take eight year to end up the story .
Here ’s Lombardo ’s exact quote :
Seven season and out was never the shell . The dubiousness is how much beyond [ seven seasons ] it will go .
… David [ Benioff ] and Dan [ Weiss ] are feeling there are two more years after Season 6 , that ’s what we ’re take care at right now . We desire that they would modify their nous , but for that ’s how they are feeling now .
Lombardo add that , if they want to make a prequel series , HBO would be open to “ anything ” they want to do . Of course they would , no one wants to lose a tentpole show .
We can also hypothesize wild about what it means that Weiss and Benioff now think they need eight season . Is it that they ’ve figure out that the taradiddle is much longer than they in the beginning mean ? Or do they eff something about what ’s in the future for the book of account that another season is needed ? The show ’s been working through the Word at a fairly speedy rate — contract and issue and remixing — this might mark a return key to a slightly more drawn out kind of adaption . Of course , no one but the writer knows for sure .
