How many seasons of Game of Thrones will there be?

The story of Westeros will come to an end next year, with Season 8 being the final season. And that season will be even shorter, with just six episodes to wrap up George R.R. Martin’s epic saga. But don’t despair.

Who is Jon Snow’s father and mother?

The biggest question of the series remains a mystery, well sort of.
