We better enjoy it while we can since I really doubt they have the resources or are able to keep the actors beyond season four, that is, the end of Storm of Swords.

Why?

I remember reading an article saying that GoT is more profitable to HBO than any other show is to it's channel. They sell each episode internationally for $2.5 million and DVD/blu-ray sales of Season 1 were monstrous.

You haven't read the books, so I'll keep spoilers to a bare minimum. Let's just say they'd need a much bigger returning cast and a much bigger budget for special effects. Hardly sustainable for anything but top-dog movies series.
