There’s all sorts of juicy gossip about the show coming from the Television Critics Association press tour at the moment – one of which is that the show will go on for eight seasons, as opposed to seven as originally thought.

HBO exec Michael Lombardo also said they won’t disregard a prequel, though it’s all up to the showrunners. Fans, remain excited.
