Los Angeles: HBO's fantasy drama series 'Game of Thrones', which has garnered accolades globally, will run for at least eight seasons.
HBO's president of programming Michael Lombardo announced about the
upcoming series on Thursday at the Television Critics Association Press
Tour, reports Efe.

"Seven-seasons-and-out has never been the (internal) conversation.
The question is: How much beyond seven are we going to do? Obviously
we're shooting six now, hopefully discussing seven (showrunners David
Benioff and Dan Weiss are).
“(I) feel like there's two more years after six. I would always love
for them to change their minds, but that's what we're looking at right
now," said Lombardo.
'Game of Thrones' is based on George R.R. Martin's novel 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.
The fifth season of the show has been concluded with one of the most
loved characters Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) meeting an untimely
end. The next season is being filmed and one of the lead actresses
Emilia Clarke noted that the upcoming season will be 'epic' with loads
of 'shocking' moments.
However, Lombardo did not rule out the possibility of a spin-off series like 'Fear the Walking Dead' and 'The Walking Dead.'
"I would be open to anything that Dan and David wanted to do about 'Game of Thrones' or any subject matter," Lombardo said.
