Game of Thrones fans, brace yourselves: The fantasy saga's end is perhaps just a few years away.
HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo said that the producers of the drama series are leaning toward three more seasons after just concluding season five.
Lombardo told a TV critics' meeting in Beverly Hills, California, that he hopes they'll change their minds, but that appears to be their intent.
Asked about the possibility of a prequel series, Lombardo said he believed there's "enormous story material" to be mined for such a project. But he says the focus now is the sixth season of Game of Thrones, planned for 2016.
