Game of Thrones Renewed for Season 4 with Fire and Blood [PHOTOS]

Season 3 has only just begun, and great news already lifted the spirits of fans as the show is already renewed for a 10-episode fourth season to air next year.

Fans of Westeros have something to cheer about aside from the excitement offered for the show's recently-premiered third season. HBO has declared that Game of Thrones is already renewed for its fourth season, with 10 episodes awaiting viewers next year.

It is said that the upcoming season 4 will be the continuation of the current third season, meaning more cliffhangers and suspense will be expected to come along the way. The show's renewal is no surprise, since Game of Thrones is HBO's second biggest "money-making" production (next to True Blood) with more than $55 million per season in DVD sales, merchandise, trademarks, and ratings that will only increase with the ongoing season.

Fans are more than pleased with the news, exclaiming their excitement in comments and reactions with the show's official Facebook page.

"Doesn't take much convincing when you have over 10 million people watch the Season 3 Priemere! haha. Good Work Game of Thrones crew!" said one commenter named Steven Fritzky on the popular social media site, Facebook. The commenter is more than right, season 3's premiere garnered more than 10 million excited viewers all eager for more Westeros action.

Details about the fourth season are yet to be divulged, making fans even more thrilled for the upcoming episodes and surprises to come along the way.

Last year, Game of Thrones became the most watched television series, with a global following of over 200 million viewers per season. With the gripping suspense and the crossover success the show offers, the success of the show will continue to flourish as happenings begin to unravel on who will ultimately claim the iron throne.
