Last season they went on their own I believe. So season 7 and 8
They were probably assuming RR Martin would finish the last book before they got this far into the show, he promised them it in 4 years, it’s now 8 years and it may never come lol
Season 5 is where the show started to surpass the books. The majority of the season was taken from the books but a few characters, such as Jamie’s trip to Dorne and Sansa’s imprisonment by Roose are events that have not yet occurred in the books. Both of these story lines are likely to vary quite a bit if GRRM does finish his books since neither Sansa or Jamie had major involvement in book 5 and are in quite different places in the books. The events involving Sansa/Roose in season 5 actually happen to her friend Jeyne Poole in the book, and Jamie has just met up with Brienne and is seemingly ready to follow her in the search for Sansa.
Season 6 was 100% past the books.
