HBO chief Casey Bloys has confirmed that the Game of Thrones spinoffs currently in development will not hit the network anytime close to the series finale.

Bloys spoke to the press on Wednesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour.

He told reporters:

The No. 1 priority in all of this is the final season of Game of Thrones. I don’t want to do anything with a spinoff or anything that detracts or distracts from that.

That season will happen, and my guess is it would be at least a year before you saw anything else. What I don’t want is the attention to be drawn from the final season, which I think is going to be epic and amazing, and somehow have the distraction of a new Game of Thrones airing right after that. It’s best to separate it and that’s what we’ll do.

If season 8 of the highly acclaimed show does indeed come out in 2019, that would mean we won’t get a spinoff until at least 2020!

For now, at least we can just relax as we watch our favorite characters die while watching the current season.
