The programming president of HBO, Casey Bloys, confirmed that there will be no more of the popular series, Game of Thrones, after its eighth season, as reported by the Entertainment Weekly.
At the Television Critics Association’s press tour in Beverly Hills on Saturday, Bloys said, “Yes, they have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do. Believe me, as the new (programming executive) coming in, if I could get them to do more, I would take ten more seasons. But we take their lead on what they think they can do the best version of the show,” he announced, to the disappointment of millions of fans.
Creators David Beinoff and Dan Weiss had previously stated that they wanted to end the show with season eight. They had also said that the final season would consist only of six episodes, but Bloys said that the exact number of episodes in the season is not yet decided.
