On the occasion of the launch of House of the Dragon, the Wall Street Journal took the opportunity to interview George RR Martinthe author of the books of Game of Throneswhich showed how he asked the production to make more than ten seasons of the TV series.
Here are his words:
I said it was necessary to do 10 seasons, and maybe even up to 12 or 13. I missed this opportunity.
Words that fit the idea that the writer had been little involved in the production from a certain point on.
From seasons five and six – he said earlier – and certainly also during seasons seven and eight, I was kept very little informed about what was going on.
Martin’s words confirm the fact that the writer had different intentions regarding the end of the story, so much so that he recently underlined that the last two books of the saga will be very different from the show.
These are his statements:
I am working in my garden and things are moving forward and changing. New ideas come in, old ones don’t seem to work, I write and rewrite and then write again. Through doors to nowhere, while others bring miracles. Some of the things you’ve seen in the TV series are in The Winds of Winter, but everything else will be very different. […] I’m going very far from the show.
