In truth, Game of Thrones is likely a very expensive series to produce, but HBO could care less because it is one of their all-time best rated shows and it carries a lot of prestige as well. They previously said that the show would go as long a George R.R. Martin keeps writing it. And that means it could go to an epic numbers of seasons seeing as they are now splitting books across multiple years. But no matter what, this one is not going off the air any time soon.
