On the subject of the show’s climax, co-showrunner David Benioff previously told Variety: “I think we’re down to our final 13 episodes after this season.
Whatever the case, it seems the end of Game of Thrones really is just a few years away.
To us, this feels like next year’s batch of episodes could be the first part of season seven that will be concluded the following year.
This would mean the final eight episodes would arrive the following year in 2018.
