David Benioff and D.B. Weiss already know how

will end. Now they might also know WHEN it will end. The screenwriting duo already conferred with George R.R. Martin on the ending of the series, but they both have some strong feelings about how much is left in the tank for the fantasy epic.

In a recent interview with Variety, Benioff and Weiss revealed the difficulty in bringing the show to HBO and what they did to win over Martin for permission to adapt the series. The big revelation came when the topic of “the end” was brought up and they revealed how many seasons they see the show running:

We’ve got a very definitive idea of how much longer it is, and we’re getting there. We’ve just started writing episodes for season six. I think we’re heading into the home stretch. Hopefully, we’ll have a clear answer soon.

We could go another four years — and we could come up with good stories — but the one thing that really got us excited when we pitched this to HBO was that this isn’t just a regular series. It’s a real story with a beginning, a middle and an end.

We know what the end is, and we’re barreling toward it. So the idea that we’re going to try and stretch it out by an extra couple years just because we’re all having a good time doing it and people are making money off it just feels like it would be a betrayal.

Reading this and taking in that these guys think four years is too much, you can’t help but perk up a little bit. Much like

will be there, chugging along with different characters, bloody murders, and nudity until the audiences are uninterested. It’s not surprising, but it is just slightly jarring.

Their reasons are honorable, though, and I think they can’t really go back on the trust they earned with HBO and George R.R. Martin (even if HBO is probably praying that the show can stretch into

With that bit of news, it raises questions with exactly how much the show will cover the same ground as the books. It’s been mentioned before, but they went into more detail during the interview:

Benioff: Season five is still very much within the books for the most part. The very first scene of the season and the very last scene of the season are book scenes. It’s more season six that’s going to be diverging a bit.

We’ve had a lot of conversations with George, and he makes a lot of stuff up as he’s writing it. Even while we talk to him about the ending, it doesn’t mean that that ending that he has currently conceived is going to be the ending when he eventually writes it.

Weiss: It’s like looking at a landscape and saying, “OK, there’s a mountain over there, and I know that I’m getting to that mountain.” There’s an event that’s going to happen, and I know that I’m moving in the general direction of that event, but what’s between where I’m standing now and that thing off on the horizon, I’m not totally sure. I’ll know when I get there, and then I’ll see what the terrain looks like around me and I’ll choose my path once I get closer to it. He figures a lot of this stuff as he goes. He always says he’s a gardener, not an architect. (via)

Pretty soon, book readers won’t have anything to lord over people who only watch the television series. At least not until the series is completely finished across all media and we can sit back to compare both in the think piece to end all think pieces. Until then, enjoy what you’ve got. Nothing lasts forever.

Game Of Thrones Showrunners: “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

That’s a good thing, because I’ve been uninterested since last season.

While I disagree with you opinion I have no problem with you expressing it Cami

On one hand, you’re a trailblazer with an opinion that is really unpopular. On the other, you’re totally alone.

I read some material and it seems much has been left out of the tv scripted series. Am I incorrect in my view? I know all good shows must come to an end, but this show is so fantastical I see a few more years ahead. Plus, I deplore(sp?) goodbyes.

This show seems like it’s a lot of work.

The ending: Tyrion becomes a lumberjack (after Arya falls off the treadmill).

I’m a book reader myself and I think it would be really cool if the show and book somehow end up with different endings. As long as they both fit within the path that each would take to get there from the divergence.

I do not care about the books. I never even knew about the books until the serious came on HBO…You book people.. You are ass wholes!! A lot of us!! many of us!! Know not a thing about the stupid Books!! You writers on HBO you want to end it here?? I will get over it but how stupid to end it now!! I just got into it last season!! By… By… Money and prestige!! Idioids!!

OK I can not edit the above post so it is what it is.. my grammar may suck but my point is there!!

Reading the books may have caused me to become a smug asshole, but it also helped me develop proper spelling and grammar skills. A fair trade, I’d say.

I guess I needed to follow Sons of anarchy which went 7 seasons!! Are you kidding me? I never knew the books!!

HBO’s gonna get their GoT revenue someway somehow. If GoT ends before a 7th season, I’ll be surprised.

I’d say that the likelihood is that the current series ends with season seven. Seven books, seven kingdoms, seven seasons, you know. After that, expect to see a prequel or sequel series that allows for the showrunners to have full creative direction over characters and plot. That way they can keep the cash rolling in without beating the current story arcs to death.

So basically they are saying, no more money for me thanks. Can’t imagine HBO would be pleased losing their money printer.
