Hold on to your dragons, all you throne fans because HBO’s executive has solidly confirmed that the series will have at least eight seasons! And if it’s anything to go by the current schedule, that means we are looking at a minimum of three years more action.

The show runner’s behind the scenes have always told us that it’ll be a seven-series and go affair, but now, after the success it’s had, they’ve revealed we’ll be going deeper into the realm. Just after polishing off the last show in season five with an ending that could rival the ‘Red Wedding’, Game of Thrones should be one of them shows that lasts forever; albeit if there is no one left in the land (R.I.P all the deceased). The pure adrenaline you get as a viewer, the emotional attachment and the sheer art behind the production just make for a classic spectacle that’ll never be repeated; we just love George RR. Martin and the HBO team for creating such a beautiful piece of visual history.

Bringing a book to life is what they set out to do, and they have truly done it. Never before have I felt the way I do whilst watching Thrones, and the whole concept is just truly gripping. If you haven’t seen any of the show so far, get on the catch up because we’ve got a few months under a year until season six. I’m so glad it’s been promised an eight series showcase and I’m on edge to watch more! Check out the video below to see what all the hype is about…
