Asked why many HBO shows get 13 episodes a season and GOT has been getting 10, Lombardo said it simply wasn't possible to physically execute more than 10 episodes a year of the quality they want to produce. The next inquiry concerned the structure of the seasons. The conversation moved on, but this is a room that's used to sniffing out possible cracks in what seems like a solid answer, so we were destined to return to an examination of the exact plan for managing the sheer amount of story that Game Of Thrones could potentially wind up needing to cover - and return we did.
qualification? Maybe? "As long as want to keep doing it, and as long as they're achieving what they did this season in terms of happy with the result, there's a lot of storytelling to tell." Lombardo, though, followed with a longer statement that included this. That pride was a big part of HBO's executive session at press tour - the session where each big network brings out some of its programming decision-makers to talk about scheduling, development, and plans for the future.īut, one critic asked HBO executives Mike Lombardo and Richard Plepler, what about the fact that Game Of Thrones is based on a planned series of seven big books, and that series isn't even finished being written yet? What do you do about the fact that the epic offers no obvious exit point once you plunge in? Initially, Plepler offered what would become the clearest statement the two would make on the topic: "We told George we would go as long as he kept writing."
It's safe to say HBO is very, very excited about the way Game Of Thrones performed in its first season, both in terms of viewership and in terms of critical reception, which culminated in 13 Emmy nominations.
