If there's any truth to this at least.
Damn facebook headlines, got me again!

Game of Thrones Will Run for at Least 8 Seasons, and at Most, Infinity
By Neil Janowitz

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss might as well give up all hope like so many of their characters, there's a chance they're not going to escape the show alive. That much was made clear Thursday afternoon during the Television Critics Association's press tour, when HBO president Michael Lombardo revealed that he sees the show continuing past the long-rumored seventh-season endpoint. "Seven-seasons-and-out has never been the conversation, he said. "The question is how much beyond seven are we going to do." This, despite the showrunners perhaps not being entirely onboard with an indefinite run, and the growing problem of how to reconcile George R.R. Martin's source material with the increasingly divergent show.

But while the length of the show's run is still very much up in the air, Lombardo did provide a concrete answer to another question. When the subject of Jon Snow came up, he insisted that the seemingly late Lord Commander is indeed "dead is dead as dead as dead. He be dead. Yes. Everything I've seen, heard, read, Jon Snow is indeed dead." Even so, the declaration will likely be of little comfort to Kit Harington.

They're also talking about doing a prequel series - would be a great way to bring back some old characters, like Sean Bean and Mark Addy.

It's wide open! There is no point in putting faith in rumors and predictions . . . the producers have so much freedom right now that anything can happen! For now I am happy with this because the suspense is incredible. On the other hand, I am torn to pieces because the suspense is incredible!

You mean Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark? The actorsare too fat and old to portray knights in their prime when they warred againts the Thaegeons.

I just pray Martin is very healthy. If the past is any indication the book after Winds of Winter may take 10 more years.

Next year is S6. It was never going to end then unless ratings tanked. The original plan was to end at the end of S7, back when there were to be 7 books and they were all going to be out by that point, that is. smile

Now it's even money if book 6 will be out before S6 starts, but odds are good they're not going to be nearly as close as past seasons/books. As for S7 and beyond, the show will certainly be off the air before book 7 comes out. biggrin

Yeah, if they kill off many more characters we may just not give a crap what happens.

Max von Sydow will take over the part of the "Three-eyed Crow", who acts as a "mentor" to Bran. Hopefully he'll also introduce him to the Stillsuit and how to use it properly. smile

I heard he takes over Kings Landing and installs a lightning field to keep out dragons and hawk men.

He's going to use the precogs to commit the perfect murder before he instructs the Dragonborn on the Blades.

Oh yeah, and he's going to be in Star Wars in December, right before appearing on GoT.

Was that before or after he took the Long Walk?

It was right before he got shot in Paris by Jackie Chan. Or was it Chris Tucker? I forget.
