The deal Sky made was for all HBO content (that wasn't on other channels at the time the deal was made) up to a certain date. Warner wouldn't be able to withhold a particular show, Sky would get the new GoT spin-off if it launches within the period covered by the agreement. Whether that would cover the life of that show or just the years within the larger agreement I have no idea.

I have a vague recollection it was a 6 year deal when the HBO deal was made, it was certainly a long deal.
