Radio Times spoke with Game of Thrones producer Frank Doelger at the BAFTAs:
“[The number of series] is being discussed as we speak. [...] I would hope that, if we all survive, and if the audience stays with us we’ll probably get through to seven seasons.”
His statement echoes the timeline that show runners Dan Weiss and David Benioff have in mind for the show. io9 has a choice quote from a recent Entertainment Weekly interview that Benioff gave regarding the time limit:
It’s possible the producers, who know the broad strokes of Martin’s ending for the story, might conclude the show before the last book is released. Not that anyone involved wants that to happen. “Ideally, the books come out first,” Benioff says.

Of imagine there will be at least 8 since they're dividing this season.
If they get to that point, they should put Robert's Rebellion in the middle of it as buffering and conveying key background they've left out of the show.

They are saying 7. I mean, that could change.
But the real story in the article is that they have basically given GRRM a timeframe to finish both books, and if he doesn't, they will be faced with having to finish it up without the book.

I vote for this

Seven seasons...and a movie?: Similarly, the show could save the really big conclusion for a Game of Thrones movie, giving Martin some extra time to deliver the book and letting the series go out with a bang. Imagine Game of Thrones with a Lord of the Rings budget. The show already looks gorgeous, this would make it unforgettable.

this is good because it just might motivate his fatass to hurry up and finish

But how will the readers and nonreaders fight if we are all Hodors?

I wish it would have 10 seasons.

And we know what Tubby thinks about deadlines.

Tubby sure as frick better stop writing episodes. Work on your book.

I would to see them go to 12 episodes per season.

I do like the idea of them knowing when it will end this early so that they can focus and make a better story (for the show).

Can you imagine the hype over a final movie to end it all? God that would be huge. What a great idea.
Posted on 5/23/13 at 1:07 pm to Fun Bunch
it will be at least eight maybe more
Posted on 5/23/13 at 1:17 pm to Hugo Stiglitz
8 max. If it even makes it that far.

Don't see how GRRM will allow this to happen. He won't let someone steal his pop shot on the series he created if he isn't done writing the last book/books.

Exactly. Do we really want him to rush the product?
Posted on 5/23/13 at 2:07 pm to Fun Bunch
if that's the case, these seasons better be 20 episodes.

I've said for a long time that books 4&5 will be cut down CONSIDERABLY.
