George RR Martin wanted, we all wanted. The creator of the universe game of Thrones confessed that he wanted the HBO series lasted for at least 10 seasonsbut sadly that didn’t happen.
Game of Thrones had eight seasons in total, with the last one premiering in 2019. After its end, fans were kept waiting until the recent launch of House of the Dragon, a spin-off series of the original show in which Martin participates as a producer. executive.
Game of Thrones broke records for television, becoming the most in-demand show in the world and winning the most Emmy Awards for a drama series.
However, the author of the literary works that shaped the live-action adaptations told in an interview with The Wall Street Journal who wanted that the series will last “at least 10 seasons and maybe 12, 13″.
Curiously, George RR Martin was asked about the criticized ending of the program and ironically replied: “I didn’t contribute to the last few seasons except, you know, making up the world, the story, and all the characters.”.
More power in House of the Dragon
Also, Martin revealed that he has more influence on House of the Dragon than on Game of Thrones. The new series is based on the novel Fire and Blood, one of the creator’s best sellers.
His role in the spin-off makes sense, after the end of Game of Thrones was in the hands of showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss, marked by the unfortunate closure of the series.
HBO and HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys seems relieved to have relinquished more creative control to George RR Martin. Verbatim, he told the Journal: “You can’t do better than the person who invented the world”. And wow, you’re right.
The first episode of House of the Dragon is now available on HBO Max.
