The Final Season Of Game Of Thrones May Take Longer Than A Year To Make
The upcoming season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, which premieres July 16, will be shorter than the other seasons at just seven episodes. The eighth and final season, following this one, will be even shorter at just six. But lest you think that means we could get it sooner, think again. According to HBO programming president Casey Bloys it may take longer.
Entertainment Weekly interviewed Bloys and asked him about the Thrones spinoff projects the network was considering. Bloys told them none of those ideas will be developed until the showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, were finished with the original series. EW then asked if it was possible for the final season to be delayed into 2019. Bloys replied, “Yeah. They have to write the episodes and figure out the production schedule. We’ll have a better sense of that once they get further into the writing.”
In other words, it’s not a definite that the final season of GoT will be delayed, but a delay won’t be refused if they need it. HBO really has to be commended for letting these guys take the time to get this right — the final episode, whenever it appears, is going to be culturally huge on the scale of the final MASH or Seinfeld. With that much pressure, you don’t want whoever winds up on the throne in the end to disappoint!

Game of Thrones has been one of the most successful series of all times, one series that would be remembered for a long time. It has set a high standard bar in a lot of ways, for cast, design set, twists, plot, storyline. The success and awards is well deserved 🙂

Game of Thrones is one of my favorite movies from all times. I am glad this is happening because that means that the creators prepare us more action, emotion, and thrill.This will make this move more interesting and unforgettable.

Every episode of Game of Thrones is a delight to watch. I don't think I have ever complained or been disappointed with any of the episodes that I've watched. And that is because the writers take their time and ensure that every bit is filmed correctly etc. So personally although it will be sad that once Season 7 is done there will be a long wait for the next season, I'm glad that they will take their time with it because it means that the final season will be something everyone enjoys and loves.

Honestly, I see no reason for such an exaggeration. The TV show is good, but everything in it (in production aspect) is exacerbated.
There are other TV shows that deserve more attention.

I watched Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 2 entitled “Stormborn last night and feel like that this episode will surely amaze you the way things are moving and the twists are taking place. I am sure that soon it will hinder Daenery’s plans to usurp Cersei from the Iron Throne. To be frank I just don't want to believe that Yara and Ellaria were captured.

Even though it might seem like a long time, it's still understandable for a show of the caliber of Game Of Thrones.

I guess for the the big fans it's nothing to mind as they might take that long to make it the greatest finale of all time, I just hope it won't disappoint. I don't really watch that series but because of all the hype I have gotten curious and have watched a bit of it. I mean it's alright for my taste but nothing to get crazy over.
