Game of Thrones season 9 probably won't happen, but conversations surrounding a continuation have taken place since the HBO series' divisive finale — and there are ways the network could make another outing work. Certain storylines lend themselves to more episodes, requiring closure after Game of Thrones season 8's rushed, six-episode run.

Others are better left as-is, and returning to them would feel forced or undo the power of the original series finale. Although a lot goes wrong in Game of Thrones season 8 's final episode, there are a few character arcs that wrap up in satisfying ways. Others leave little room for expansion, making them poor candidates for a ninth outing.
