'Game of Thrones' showrunners confirm 15 episodes left in series.

All good things must come to an end.
While 'Game of Thrones' fans are still recovering from the epic season 6 finale that aired on Sunday, they might want to prepare themselves for the inevitable: the end of the series. GoT showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff confirmed that, not only are there two seasons left, there are likely 15 episodes left (at most). This means that the next two seasons of 'Game of Thrones' will have less than 10 episodes each.
The showrunners were recently interviewed about the show coming to the end:
"We’re trying to tell one cohesive story with a beginning, middle and end. As Dan [Weiss] said, we’ve known the end for quite some time, and we’re hurtling towards it. Those last images from the show that aired last night showed that. Daenerys is finally coming back to Westeros; Jon Snow is king of the North and Cersei is sitting on the Iron Throne. And we know the Night King is up there, waiting for all of them. The pieces are on the board now. Some of the pieces have been removed from the board, and we are heading toward the end game."
The two continued:
"The thing that has excited us from the beginning, back to the way we pitched it to HBO is, it’s not supposed to be an ongoing show, where every season it’s trying to figure out new story lines. We wanted it to be one giant story, without padding it out to add an extra 10 hours, or because people are still watching it. We wanted to something where, if people watched it end to end, it would make sense as one continuous story. We’re definitely heading into the end game now"
A release date for season 7 is still unknown, but it will probably be sometime in April 2017.

My Two Cents

I am a HUGE fan of 'Game of Thrones.' Just like fellow fans, I was left amazed by this wonderful season. Sunday's season finale was incredible! It definitely set the stage for what's to come in seasons 7 and 8. It makes sense that there are only 15 episodes left. I mean, Jon Snow is the king of the north, Dany is coming to claim the 7 kingdoms, Cersei is sitting on the iron throne, and Arya is back to getting revenge on those who have wronged herself and her family (by the way, I LOVED that Arya scene). I was unhappy that Margaery was killed off.
All that's left is for the epic battle with the night king to commence, and for Dany to take over the 7 kingdoms. I seriously want to see Dany and Cersei throw down! I also want to see Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, and Bran Stark finally reunite.

Leaving you all with one final thought:
