Winter may be coming earlier than fans had hoped.
The long-gestating rumor that “Game of Thrones” will end after its
eighth season could be true, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss
recently divulged to Variety magazine.
“I think we’re down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We’re heading into the final lap,” Benioff explained.
The sixth season for the hit HBO show is set to launch on April 24 and
it may be the last one with a ten-episode order. The story for the
coveted golden Throne could then be told over seven episodes in season
seven and six episodes for the eighth and final season.
