It seems all the big tv shows are coming to an end,firstly Agent of Carter was cancelled,later vampire diaries was announced to have a finale for season 7 and now it is game of thrones.
HBO has just answered a huge lingering
question about Game of Thrones.
EW asked the network’s new programming
president Casey Bloys if he plans to go along
with showrunners’ David Benioff and Dan Weiss’
oft-stated desire to end their fantasy hit with
season 8.
Bloys said yes, that is the current plan – the first
time somebody at HBO has confirmed this.
“Yes, they have a very specific plan about the
number of seasons they want to do,” Bloys said
at the Television Critics Association’s press tour
in Beverly Hills on Saturday. “Believe me, as the
new [programming executive] coming in, if I
could get them to do more. I would take 10
more seasons. But we take their lead on what
they think they can do the best version of the
show.”
The showrunners have also planned for the
eighth season to consist of merely six episodes.
On that front, however, Bloys said the exact
number of season eight episodes is not yet
final.
We then asked if the team is considering a
Thrones spin-off to continue the valuable
franchise. Thrones is one of TV’s most watched
shows with 25 million total viewers this year
across all platforms.
“We’ve talked about it,” he said. “It’s something
I’m not opposed to, but of course it has to make
sense creatively. I’m not sure that [Benioff and
Weiss] could really wrap their heads around it
when they’re just about to start production [on
season 7]. It’s a pretty intense production,
they’re about to start production soon. I’m open
to it. The guys weren’t opposed to it, but there’s
no concrete plans for it at this point.”
Also, with the production delay of season seven
– which will debut its seven episodes next
summer – the executive confirmed the plan will
take Thrones out of the running for the Emmys
next year. Thrones received 23 prime-time 2016
Emmy nominations, more than any other show,
but requires a heavy amount of winter location
shooting for the next season (locations include a
production unit filming in Iceland).
Still, Bloys pointed out, “Even if we took
Thrones Emmys away this year, we’d still have
more than anyone else.”
The executive was also asked about the fate of
True Detective, and had this to say.

Best movie ever

yea. The best so far.
