"They are feeling two more years after six," said president of HBO programming Michael Lombardo.

The executive said that he would be open for a seventh season as well as a prequel of the epic story based of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book.

"Seven-seasons-and-out has never been the [internal] conversation. The question is: how much beyond seven are we going to do? Obviously we're shooting six now, hopefully discussing seven. [Benioff and Weiss] feel like there's two more years after six. I would always love for them to change their minds, but that's what we're looking at right now," Lombardo said.

As of the moment, the current focus of the showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss is the controversial sixth season of "Game of Thrones" which is already in production.

There are many speculations that surrounded Jon Snow's death and possible reappearance in the show.
