‘Game of Thrones’ Season’s 7 and 8?
Game of Thrones Showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have spoken again about how many more episodes they’re planning; and this time they sound much more certain about how much is left: “It’s two more seasons we’re talking about,” Benioff told Deadline in a recent interview.
“From pretty close to the beginning we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours and that’s what we’ll end up with. Now that Season 6 has finished, we’ve already had 60 hours If we do end up with 73 hours in total that means we’ve only got 13 episodes left split over two seasons.”
The next 2 seasons will further surpass the books that George R.R. Martin has written. The 6th season was based on the unreleased 6th book, and the next 2 seasons will be based on the 7th and final book. By the time the books come out, it would’t be a surprise that the show will deviate even more from the source material. You can expect a shorter season of Game of Thrones to come out sometime next year.
