Season six of Game of Thrones is all wrapped up after the finale aired on Sunday night. Now we have to wait a whole year for our next instalment. The next season is where the series changes, the previous six series have all been ten episodes long but the next season is thought to be only seven episodes. Series eight will be the last series of Game of Thrones and looks to only be a six episode series. Serious downer!
David Benioff has confirmed that these last two seasons will be split over 13 hours. “It’s two more seasons we’re talking about. From pretty close to the beginning, we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours, and that’s what we’ll end up with. Call it 73 for now…”
“We’re trying to tell one cohesive story with a beginning, middle and end. As Dan said, we’ve known the end for quite some time and we’re hurtling towards it. Those last images from the show that aired last night showed that. Daenerys is finally coming back to Westeros; Jon Snow is king of the North and Cersei is sitting on the Iron Throne. And we know the Night King is up there, waiting for all of them. The pieces are on the board now. Some of the pieces have been removed from the board and we are heading toward the end game.”
As much as we’d all love to see Game of Thrones go on for many more seasons, unfortunately it can’t.
