BUT, they've been talking about doing a spin-off or two that ties back into the past events of what's going on now currently in Game of Thrones. It would be pretty cool if they decided to kind of do what AMC did with "Fear the Walking Dead".

They could opt to release that new spin-off next year around this same time to get fans excited about what's to come and then a few months later in early 2019 around January or February they could run season eight.  I would be fine with this.

There's so many places they could go to do spin offs.  Dunk and Egg, the end of the Targaryen dynasty/Robert's Rebellion, the war with the First Men and Children of the Forest thereby showing exactly how/why the white walkers came to be, and the Doom of Valyria.  The war would be a nice background season if they chose to run something else between season 7 and 8.  A lot of potential material if they choose to keep riding that GoT name after the series is done.
