We're all freaking out about the impending end of Game of Thrones, but HBO programming president Casey Bloys doesn't plan to rush any of the proposed spinoffs to air to fill the void.

"The number one priority in all of this is the final season of Game of Thrones, I don’t wanna do anything with a spinoff or anything that detracts or distracts from that," Bloys told reporters after his executive session. "So that season will happen, and my guess is it would be at least a year before you see anything else. Because what I don’t want is the attention to be drawn from the final season, which I think is gonna be epic and amazing, and somehow have the distraction of a new Game of Thrones airing right after it. I think it’s best to separate them and that’s what we’ll do." Read more...
