New HBO programming
president Casey Bloys announced at Television Critics Association's summer
press tour
Winter is finally
set to bid goodbye to Game of Thrones as HBO has confirmed the popular fantasy
series will go off air after its eighth season.
New HBO programming
president Casey Bloys told the press yesterday at the Television Critics
Association's summer press tour that the plan is for the yet-to-be announced
eighth season of the adaptation of George RR Martin's novel to be its last,
according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Yes, I think
[the showrunners, DB Weiss and David Benioff] have a very specific plan about
the number of seasons they want to do," Bloys said.
"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."
Though the episode
count, and a potential spin-off, remain big questions.
Meanwhile, the
upcoming seventh season will premiere in summer 2017. The seven-episode drama
will be based in Northern Ireland with portions filming in Spain and Iceland.
