There's no way the book series is finished before the tv series finishes, whether it's 7 seasons or 8.
And yes, they've been talking about 8 seasons as a possibility for a long time, but there was no news today on that front. Maybe it's something that's still being discussed, maybe it's not. The 8th season may still be too far off to even discuss, with 6 seasons being HBO's current commitment, and today's contract info being the first official talk that I'm aware of about the 7th.
Not that I think the show will ever struggle for ratings. But if it does...it'll start this year.
