Sophie Turner seems to have confirmed what's been speculated. No Game of Thrones until 2019.
It looks more likely that each Season 8 episode will be movie-length, too.
Hopefully, they spend the extra time hammering away a higher-quality narrative than the previous couple of seasons.

As for writing the story to conclusion...I think we’re in for more of the same from season 7. Going to need to try and suspend reality and reason to enjoy it
No, he will never finish writing the series.

The show no longer has the books to rely on. The narrative is weak now and Martin will never finish the series. When I first watched this past season I thought it was good mainly because it was bringing some progress to a story that I first read in 1997. That is a long time ago. Upon reflection and second viewings I realized how weak the story of this past season really was.
Of course I will watch the final season when it finally does come out. Just to bring some closure to all of this. It sucks though that if you read the Song of Ice and Fire from that start, you will never get a true ending
Eh, at least they're not trying to split the final season into 2 seasons or over 2 years. They probably could get it done in time for Fall 2018 but why rush it?

when it comes to scope and scale of episodes, and especially battle scenes, I’m sure they’ll deliver in spades.

Yup all true. I watched season 1 of the show originally, then paused to read the first 3 books, then watched seasons 2-3, all in about 9 months. That was awesome, and while the show started to veer away from the books already, it was still a very good adaptation.
Obviously fully committed to the end of the story regardless as well, but it’s a shame we’ll likely never get to read the full ended as written by GRRM
Now everything is pretty much being filmed by one crew in Belfast. (Although I do think there will be a few scenes filmed in Iceland) This and the longer, and large in scale episodes is why it will take so long.

definitely delaying the ending as long as possible at this point.

They essentially already did that. They have already reached the "over-saturation" point with many viewers and with their future plans for the series I can only see it getting worse. At this point I'm more excited to see what the LotR series will look like.
Huh? What are you talking about- this is the final season.

Isn’t actually ending anytime soon (4 more seasons planned) this is simply due to production.

He's talking about the spin off series
That's a completely inaccurate way to describe it. The next season will be the final season of this show. Then there will be prequel series.
