“The story materials that we acquired from Half II of the sport is far more than the story materials that was within the first recreation, so a part of what we needed to do from the beginning was determine inform that story throughout seasons,” Mazin defined. “If you do this, you search for pure breakpoints, and as we laid it out, this season, the pure breakpoint felt prefer it got here after seven episodes.” (Season 1 clocked in at 9 episodes, for comparability.)
The excellent news for followers is that regardless that HBO has but to verify extra seasons, it seems like Mazin is fairly assured that extra are coming. “I don’t see how we might inform the story that is still after season 2 is full in another season,” he defined.
