The future of HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ is an open book

On Saturday, at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, the network’s programming president Casey Bloys revealed that Jon Stewart’s venture will be a multiplatform project involving both short-form and longer-form content that will appear on both HBO’s online digital platforms and television. The storyline of the Game of Thrones television series moved beyond the plot of the books with Season 7, making it the first in which readers of the Game of Thrones books don’t know how the television show will unfold.

Hit series Game of Thrones will end after its eighth season, it has been confirmed – but will return to film scenes in NI in the meantime. The Hollywood Reporter’s Lesley Goldberg writes HBO executives would love Game of Thrones showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff to do 10 seasons, but say, “We want to take their lead with what they could do and what the best version of the show is”. Bloys told the publication that if he could get them to do more, he would take 10 more seasons.

Just like the upcoming seventh season, “Game of Thrones” Season 8 is also being planned to run with an abbreviated number of episodes.

Since the comedian left “The Daily Show” in 2015, we’ve been forced to face the current state of American politics (mostly) without him.

However, Bloys would go on to note that there hasn’t been a decision regarding just how many episodes season eight will have. “We’ve talked about it”, Bloys told the TCA. He said it made sense creatively, but as of now there are no concrete plans for a spin-off.

All good things must come to an end, and, unfortunately Game of Thrones is no exception. Last year, “Game” scored a dozen Emmys. “The guys weren’t denied to it, but there are no definite plans for it at this moment”.
