BEVERLY HILLS , Calif., July 30 (UPI) -- HBO's new programming president Casey Bloys has confirmed Game of Thrones will end with its eighth season.
"Yes, they have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do," Bloys told Entertainment Weekly at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills Saturday. "Believe me, as the new [programming executive] coming in, if I could get [the showrunners] to do more, I would take 10 more seasons. But we take their lead on what they think they can do the best version of the show."
