The renewal isn’t exactly a surprise for the multiple Emmy-winner, as there’s simply more story to tell, and the showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have already talked about a season 7 – possibly even a shorter one split with an even shorter season 8. No episode count was officially announced, but each season so far (including season six) has been 10 episodes long.
