If Benioff and Weiss had stayed truer to the novels, the series would have gone far longer, to at least 10 seasons, if not more.But this is how the show has always planned it. Back in 2012, showrunners Benioff and Weiss said they were only planning 70 episodes or so, and they've wound up sticking pretty close to that number. By the time Game of Thrones Season 8 draws to a close, it will be 73 episodes, and ~75 hours, give or takeBut as Martin points out, this just gives HBO and himself a chance at a new series, noting the five prequels in development. He revealed for the first time that some of the currently-shelved proposals were set only 100 years before the current series, while the one that is going to pilot is set 5,000 years before the current show. He also reminds everyone he's an executive producer on the upcoming HBO series Who Fears Death, which is a fabulous novel and will hopefully make an extraordinary show.</blockquote>
