The "Game of Thrones" showrunners just confirmed that only 10 to 15 more hours are left in the series, slated to run two more seasons.
According to David Benioff, the final fates of Dany, Tryion, Jaime, Cersei, Arya, Sansa, Bran, Jon, Varys, Olenna, Petyr and both Cleganes are expected to be revealed in the next 13 episodes.
"It’s two more seasons we’re talking about. From pretty close to the beginning, we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours, and that’s what we’ll end up with. Call it 73 for now," Benioff told Deadline Hollywood.
Sunday's sixth-season finale (episode 60) saw Targaryen spawn Jon Snow named King of the North and Cersei Lannister plant her hinder on the Iron Throne. Also, Daenerys Targaryen, who spent six seasons in Essos yapping about her intent to sit where Cersei is now sitting, is finally on a boat headed for the land of the Andals.

Last week. On “Game Of Thrones.”
* Daenerys Stormborn discussed terms of surrender with The Masters.
* Rhaegal and Viserion, named for Dany’s late brothers, made like the Kool-Aid Pitcher Man. Oh yeah!
* Davos found what was left of tiny Shireen Baratheon.
* Rickon joined Lyanna and Eddard Stark in the Winterfell Crypt.
* Yara came to an arrangement with The Unburnt Khaleesi, Breaker of Chains.
* Tormund Giantsbane snacked, Bauer-like, on Smalljon Umber’s carotid artery.
* Wun Weg Wun Dar Wun joined his cousin Hodor in Giant Heaven. (7’1” Ian Whyte, who played Wun, also played a White Walker in season one, Gregor Clegane in season two, and Dongo -- the first wildling giant we ever glimpsed – in season three.)
* Sansa put the loyalty of Ramsay’s hounds to the test.
Even while competing against a big basketball game, 2016’s ninth episode of “Game of Thrones” was the highest-rated ninth episode in the series’ history.
