Game of Thrones is coming to an end. HBO’s mega hit and one of the most
popular television shows of all-time will be calling it quits after just two
more seasons. The seventh outing, which is said to be quite bleak will
arrive later this year and only run for seven episodes while the eighth and
final season will presumably air in 2018. After that though, it’s done. Or
at least, the main series is done.
Talk of a spinoff of some sorts has been popping
up for a while now, and while HBO has yet to confirm anything, you have
to believe that they’re seriously considering the option. After all, when you
have a show as popular as Game of Thrones, you don’t just let the property fade
into oblivion, you milk it for all it’s worth. There are, of course, a number
of potential spinoffs that can stem from the series, given how rich this
world that George R.R. Martin has
created is, and that’s something which isn’t lost on the network.
Speaking to Variety earlier this week, HBO
programming president Casey Bloys
was asked once again about plans for a spinoff and said that nothing’s set in
stone just yet, but they’re definitely exploring the different options:
He said “All I can say is that we’re exploring it. We don’t have any scripts,
we’re not even close to saying ‘Oh let’s do this.’ But it’s a big enough
property that we would be foolish not to explore it. It’s a really rich world.
We’d be foolish not to look at it.”
Aside from the spinoff talk, Bloys also
mentioned that they still don’t have a final episode count for season 8.
Chatting to Deadline, the network exec said they’re still
discussing it. We’ve heard in the past that it will be condensed, just
like season 7, but it seems that HBO hasn’t settled on a concrete number
yet and is still weighing their options. 6 episodes is what’s being speculated
at this point, but again, nothing’s been decided.
Game of Thrones will make its triumphant return on June 25th, 2017.
