The big one, in this case, being Game Of Thrones spin-off House Of The Dragon, which Bloys confirmed will end after its fourth season, mirroring earlier comments from showrunner Ryan Condal. “That is the idea,” Bloys mostly confirmed, when asked point-blank whether the series—which is currently in post-production on its third season—would wrap up with the fourth. “The idea has always been to follow the history of the Targaryens. If you know the books, you know how the Targaryens end up. So there is a natural end to this particular history of that House of the Targaryens.”
(Before you ask, yes: Bloys also talked a bit about the behind-the-scenes drama on the series, including not sounding entirely thrilled that author George R.R. Martin roiled things up again with a recent interview where he called his relationship with Condal “abysmal”: “Like any good American family, I would prefer that our dysfunction stays behind closed doors,” Bloys noted. “But here we are.” He went on to say how happy he is to be working with both Condal and Martin, while also confirming that the A Song Of Ice And Fire author “definitely took a step back” from actively working on House Of The Dragon, instead focusing his energies on new spin-off A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms.)
Bloys was more equivocal when asked about endpoints for other shows, including The Last Of Us and Hacks—answering when asked if those shows’ upcoming third and fifth seasons would be their last that “It certainly seems that way, but on decisions like that, we will defer to the showrunners.” He gave similar “don’t ask me, but yes” answers to questions about whether we’d be getting new seasons of technically-not-renewed shows like The Rehearsal and IT: Welcome To Derry, and just straight-up refused to give a clear answer on whether the upcoming third season of Euphoria—delayed for years while its creator got lost in Weeknd diversions and its cast became super mega-famous—would be its last.
