The network has not ruled out continuing ‘GOT’ in some form once the series ends.
HBO programming president Casey Bloys has confirmed that the network is still in talks with ‘Game of Thrones’ author George R.R. Martin about ideas for a follow-up or prequel once the popular series ends.
‘Game of Thrones’ is expected to end after its eighth season airs on HBO, but according to Bloys, there’s still the possibility of a spin-off or prequel series.

When asked by Entertainment Weekly about the ideas they’re exploring with Martin, Bloys said: “I would say it’s still kind of preliminary ongoing talks.
“There are areas we are exploring, but I wouldn’t point to any one and say, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’”

“There is certainly no lack of material,” he told Entertainment Weekly back in April.

“Every episode of The Naked City, one of the television shows I watched as a kid, ended with a voiceover: ‘There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them’.
“There are eight million stories in Westeros as well and even more in Essos and the lands beyond," he added. "A whole world full of stories…if indeed HBO is interested.”
