5 Big Things We Already Know About the Eventual End of Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones has never been a show to have enormous, 20-plus-episode seasons, but it seems like the final two seasons might be even shorter than anyone previously imagined. "We've known for several years now how many hours, roughly, we want it to go," Benioff told EW earlier this April. "It hasn't changed." Benioff further revealed that the number of hours is 73, meaning the seventh season will have seven episodes and the eighth will have six. In other words, if this plan goes through, season six will be the last season of the show that has 10 episodes.
