'Game of Thrones' Producer Discusses Series End
Frank Doelger charts number of seasons for hit HBO show
By RJ CUBARRUBIA
Seven books, seven seasons � that's the hope for Game of Thrones
producer Frank Doelger. The HBO series based on George R.R. Martin's
fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire has its sights set on
seven seasons, which would match the number of planned entries in the
book series.
"[The number of series] is being discussed as we speak. The third
season was the first half of book three, season four will be the
second part of book three. . . George R.R. Martin has written books
four and five; six and seven are pending," Doelger told Radio Times at
the BAFTA Awards last weekend. "I would hope that, if we all survive
and if the audience stays with us, we'll probably get through to seven
seasons."
Seven seasons would create a potentially awkward timeline for Game of
Thrones: Season Three and Season Four split the series' third novel, A
Storm of Swords, into two parts, meaning one future season might have
to pack in two books' worth of material to make the fit.

Aren't the later books even LONGER than book 3 (ala Harry Potter)?
