HBO Renews GAME OF THRONES For 2 More Seasons
Not exactly surprising news considering the season 4 premiere was HBO's most watched episode since the finale of The Sopranos, but just to ease all our minds the network has announced that we'll be getting (at least) another couple of seasons of the excellent fantasy series.
On Sunday night, the season 4 premiere of Game Of Thrones pulled in an average of 6.6 million viewers, making it HBO’s most-watched program since the finale of The Sopranos in 2007 (11.9 million viewers). That -- and the immense popularity of the first 3 seasons anyway -- means that we were probably always ging to see the show renewed for more; but now it's official: We'll be getting seasons 5 and 6, and considering the showrunners have said their aim was always to get to 7, that'll very likely happen too. Here's the press release.
LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2014 – HBO has renewed GAME OF THRONES for a fifth and sixth season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming.
