I think GRRM said nothing in order to preserve the integrity of the manuscript. The scriptwriters suggested the plot of the whole series to its end in broad strokes, which GRRM confirmed to be similar in its crucial aspect yet refreshingly divergent.

I think the series will split into two big subplots:


 * the Lannisters watching the Freys unravel and fighting the Tyrells wo are Dorne, Dothraki and dragon.
 * the Starks arming against the Night's King after his assault on the Wall, which will kill Ed Tollett and end the the remnants of the Night's Watch for the most part.
