New Delhi: HBO’s fantasy drama Game Of Thrones has managed to gain a fan following worldwide. The series which aired the finale of the sixth season, last Sunday will have shorter final seasons, revealed the makers.
Till now all the seasons of GOT had 10 episodes but the seventh and eight ones might have maximum seven episodes.
"It is two more seasons we are talking about. From pretty close to the beginning, we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours, and that's what we will end up with. Call it 73 for now," Benioff said.
During the interview Benioff also revealed that since the characters of the series have reached their perfect places, there is no point stretching the final two seasons.

While the show has surpassed the book, Benioff and co-showrunner D.B. Weiss have had a lot of conversations with the "Ice and Fire" book author George R. R. Martin about the direction of the story.
"As we get close to the ending, we have been talking about that for so long, things come into better focus. Once we get to the final end game, we have got very specific ideas that have grown organically over the past six plus years about where everything will end up," Benioff said.
The finale of the sixth season was full of twists and turns and gave a completely new perspective to the show.
