Why would they have to cancel the show for years....they can still progress the other characters stories.
Bran didn't appear in this season. They didn't have to stop the show for that.
There's only two seasons left, I can't see Jon being away for one season and come back for the last one.
Also Bran wasn't in this season because he's a greenseer, he's almost omnipotent. Putting him in s5 wasn't possible because his screentime would reveal major things and they werent ready for that in this season.
Anyway the show have now surpassed the books so season 6 episode 1 will spoil a lot of things.
