"Game of Thrones" showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have said that they envision their HBO series ending after seven seasons. However, HBO has an appetite for even more Westeros.
《權力的游戲》的主創人員D?B?威斯和大衛?貝尼奧夫稱，他們計劃用七季來完結這部HBO系列劇。然而，播出方HBO希望維斯特洛大陸神話能夠繼續。

Entertainment Weekly got the scoop from HBO programming president Michael Lombardo, who said the network would love to see the hit show extend beyond seven seasons. But Weiss and Benioff don't necessarily agree, saying their main focus is on giving the series a proper, satisfying ending, regardless of how many seasons that requires. “We want to go out on our absolute highest note,” Weiss said. Benioff added, “We know basically how many hours are left in this story. We don’t want to add 10 hours to that. It’s about finding that sweet spot so it works for us and for HBO and, most of all, it works for the audience.”
《娛樂周報》獨家采訪了HBO節目執行總裁邁克爾?隆巴多，他表示，該公司期待這部大熱劇集播出超過七季。這句話，威斯和貝尼奧夫未見得同意，因為他們表示更加在意如何能給該系列劇一個合適的、滿意的結局，而不是誰要求的播出多少集。威斯說道：“我們想要這部劇在聲名最盛時結束，”貝尼奧夫補充說：“這個故事還有多少小時完結我們基本有數，不想再額外添10個小時了，我們要找到那個恰到好處的完結時刻，我們眼中或者對播出公司而言的最佳時刻，最重要的是，要是全體觀眾眼中最好的完結點。”

And what about a "Game of Thrones" movie? Speculation first began last year when George R.R. Martin mentioned a feature film could possibly end the series. HBO isn't big on the idea though, since they want to stay loyal to their subscribers instead of keeping the ending exclusive to movie theaters.
那么，關于《權力的游戲》將會拍成電影的消息是否為真？2014年，原著作者喬治?R?R?馬丁曾透露可能會以一部電影來完結此劇。HBO對此興趣不大，因為他們想要對付費觀眾負責，而不是把結局專門留給電影院。

So far, "Game of Thrones" has only officially been renewed for a Season 6 and negotiations have been made with the top cast for a potential Season 7 -- which may hint at a possible spoiler. We do know the upcoming fifth season will deviate from the books, hence our speculation about where Sansa's storyline is headed and news that an unexpected character will die this year. Regardless, the future of the Seven Kingdoms is in your hands, Weiss and Benioff.
迄今為止，《權力的游戲》官方只續訂到第六季，而這次討論暗示應該會拍攝第七季。人們知道的是即將播出的第五季將會脫離原著劇情，此后我們對故事主線的推測將成為主導，有消息稱2015年會有一個意想不到的角色死亡。無論如何，威斯和貝尼奧夫，七大王國的未來就在你們的手上了。
