HBO's president of programming Casey Bloys announced during his first presentation for the Television Critics Association fall previews that Game of Thrones will definitely end after the next two seasons. Bloys admitted that HBO would "take 10 seasons if we could," but show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been adamant that eight seasons was the right number.
HBO节目部总裁Casey Bloys在电视评论协会首次亮相上宣布《权力的游戏》在两季之后就会集中。他承认HBO电视台“本来是想要做10季，但是制作人David Benioff和D.B. Weiss坚持8季结束最合适。”

Bloys also confirmed that the show's delayed production of Season 7 will take Game of Thrones out of Emmy contention in 2017. A spin-off is absolutely not out of the question. "We've talked about it. I am certainly not opposed to it," he said. "There are no concrete plans for it at this point."
同时，Bloys也承认《权力的游戏》第七季将会延迟开播，这也导致第七季将会错过下一届艾美奖。而衍生剧也不是完全没有可能。“我们聊过这个问题，不过暂时一切都还是一种想法，目前还没有具体计划。”
