Game of Thrones Season five is almost upon us but how many more seasons of Game of Thrones do we have to look forward to you probably know the game of thrones TV show is based on a series of books the Song of Ice and Fire series and while there are plenty of differences the crucial plot points of the TV show closely followed the action in the books author of the novel's george RR martin has said that there will be seven books in total of which five have already been published broadly speaking the first two seasons adhere closely to the first two books a Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings but then things get more complex the seasons three and four of the show draw most of their material from book three a Storm of Swords so why the departure were the makers of the TV show just trying to squeeze out as many seasons as possible not quite book three is actually a lot longer than its two predecessors in fact in the UK it was released in two parts so there was a lot more for the creators of the show to work through look for a feast for crows is shorter although because by this point there are so many active characters this novel and part of book 5 covered the same span of fictional time so expect season 5 to plow straight into events from a dance with dragons which is another long book in fact some of the things teased in season 5 trailers suggest we'll see events that narratively come quite close to the end of a dance with dragons so these two books could become one season we don't know when exactly book 6 and 7 will be released although we do know they're working titles and george RR martin has hinted that each is going to be quite long which will make them possibly deserving of two seasons each taking everything we know into account it seems as if the TV show is now it's a little under half way through the Song of Ice and Fire narrative that Martin wants to weave suggesting that TVs greatest fantasy series could reach it's gripping conclusion in season 9 or maybe 10 of course there are loads of things that could throw that estimate off the show could depart from the narrative structure of the books something we've already seen happen in season for HBO could slow things down to drag the show out or it could cap things off early after all of the network's most iconic shows have ever run for that many years whatever happens Game of Thrones has already been renewed for a sixth season so the world of Westeros isn't going anywhere soon thank goodness
