The writers said they would ideally continue the HBO drama for seven seasons in total, but that the network may want it to end after ten, reported E! online.
"We see the light at the end of the tunnel. We still have a long way to go and things to figure out, but we definitely know where we're heading and the major end-beats," Benioff said.
"This is the hard part of what we do. We started this journey with David and Dan. It's their vision. Would I love the show to go ten years as both a fan and a network executive? Absolutely," said HBO programming president Michael Lombardo.
"What I'm not going to do is have a show continue past where the creators believe where they feel they've finished with the story."
"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on April 12 as part of a global simulcast.
