Game of Thrones final seasons may be shorter

After ending the sixth season of Game of Thrones on a ratings high, showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have revealed that the final two series on the hit franchise will be shorter.

The show completed some of the important character arcs in the 6th season and some of the major players are ready to take the story forward in the next season.

“It’s two more seasons we’re talking about. From pretty close to the beginning, we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours, and that’s what we’ll end up with. Call it 73 for now,” Benioff told the Deadline, confirming reports that the final two seasons will be shorter than usual.

Benioff says despite the popularity of the show they don’t want to overstay their welcome but want to end it on a high.

Meanwhile actor Kit Harington got into a fight at a fast food joint the night before his audition for popular epic fantasy TV show Game of Thrones.

The 29-year-old, who plays the role of Jon Snow in the series, is thankful to the man who punched him in the face at McDonald’s which he thinks helped him in bagging the part, reported E!Online.

“I had a black eye, I’d been in a fight the night before. I’d went into McDonald’s with this girl I had been dating, and it was late night and there was no seat.”

“I asked this guy and this girl that he was with if we could sit at the same table as them. We sat down, and quite quickly he started being rude to the girl I was with, calling her names. He called her an ugly pig or something worse, and I said, No you can’t, you can’t call her that. Get up,” the actor recalled.
