"Game of Thrones" is indeed nearing the finish line. HBO's new programming president Casey Bloys said during the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Saturday that "Game of Thrones" will conclude with its eighth season and that a spin-off has been discussed.
“We’ve talked about it,” he said. “It’s something I’m not opposed to, but it has to make sense creatively. I’m open to it. The guys aren’t opposed to it, but there’s no concrete plans.”
Bloys also confirmed that "Game of Thrones‘" delayed Season 7 premiere will take the show out of the 2017 Emmy race.
“That's not our main goal. The main goal is to do the best show for our subscribers and fans. … The Emmy fallout is just something we have to live with.”
