Glen, who plays the greyscale-afflicted Jorah Mormont, recently talked to Radio Times about the "extraordinary" episodes ahead. He mentioned the number of episodes -- seven confirmed for 2017's Season 7, and six as the still unconfirmed-by-HBO count for Season 8. That's 13 episodes, which is the same number we've heard for a while. So it was actually encouraging to hear Glen slide in this detail:
"There are fifteen more hours left in Thrones as we understand it, but that may change, but that's as far as we know."
The Season 6 finale is the longest episode we've had to date, and that was "only" 69 minutes, breaking the previous record of the Season 4 finale, which was 66 minutes.
The next two seasons would need to add two additional hours of (commercial free!) programming to go from 13 hours to 15. Perhaps we're in for 2-hour finales -- for Season 7 and the series finale? Or perhaps one or both premieres will be supersized to 1.5 or 2 hours. Or one of the penultimate episodes, leading into a finale? As of now, we can only speculate, and wait for official word from HBO on anything.
