According to Entertainment Weekly, Michael Lombardo is saying that Benioff and Weiss decided they need more time to tell the story.
The HBO President of Programming says they’re looking at 8 seasons for now:
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] 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.
And are Benioff and Weiss open to doing a prequel somewhere in there? Lombardo says:

In the new edition of Greek publication Athinorama, Owen Teale talks season 6 and killing Jon Snow.
Teale is in Greece to make a film called Nocturne with director Konstantinos Frangopoulos, whom he previously worked with on a short film called “A Meeting at Last.”
When asked if he’s in the sixth season of Game of Thrones, the actor answers yes though he’s unclear on when he’ll be filming.
Teale remarks that he’ ll “always be the man who killed Jon Snow.” Athinorama asks if Jon Snow is dead, of course and Teale says that he actually doesn’t know, and he’s relieved that he doesn’t have to tell any lies!
Just in case you haven’t heard, production on Game of Thrones season 6 begins this month, reminding us that our next Westeros fix is on the horizon … but still very, very far away. Thus I have assembled the Game of Thrones Withdrawal Guide, a two-part list of supplementary entertainment to tide us all over until next April.
Part I: Supplementary Viewing
For the sake of immediate gratification (and simplicity) this list is limited to TV shows featuring Game of Thrones actors that are available to stream on legal sites that I have personally watched and enjoyed. This list is far from comprehensive, of course. If there’s a show you love that’s not on here, tell us about it below.
Residue
Availability: Netflix
Described by producer, Charlotte Walls, as a 3-part pilot for a potential 10-episode season, Residue is a thriller about a photographer, Jen (Natalia Tena) and a Home Office spokesman, Jonas (Iwan Rheon) who work to uncover a governmental conspiracy surrounding supernatural occurrences plaguing their city after a mysterious chemicals explosion. While at times slow and clunky, Residue has a wonderful neo-noir aesthetic and compelling, albeit flawed, protagonists. The opportunity to watch Osha and Ramsay Bolton play lovers alone is worth giving it a try.
We want to thank everyone for taking part in the two giveaways, in honor of our one-year anniversary. The response was overwhelming, as was the reader support for the Watchers on the Wall birthday celebration this weekend. We hope you all continue to enjoy the site and stick around for another year!
