george r. r. martin didn’t want the series to end: ‘we may want to’ve long past eleven, 12, thirteen seasons'
“game of thrones” can be coming to a halt this ur after VIII seasons, however the writer of the hbo hits might’ve preferred to keep the show for several extra years.
“we ought to’ve long past eleven, 12, thirteen seasons,” george r. r. martin said to variety on the primetime emmys red carpet IV days ago, wherein “recreation of thrones” led the nominations with 22. he stated the decision to end the series were in the hands of the actors, david benioff and d.b. weiss.
“david and dan have been pronouncing for like V seasons that VII seasons is all they might go,” the “GOT” author said. “we got them to go to eight but now not any extra than that. there was a time like 5 years in the past when they told me 7 seasons and i said 10 seasons and that they defeated me to it, they’re the ones definitely running on it.”
as for a derivative for any of westeros’ loved characters, martin said he thinks the tale has come to an end, and the display’s stars, such as emilia clarke, package harington, peter dinklage, maisie williams and sophie turner, are equipped to discover new initiatives.
“i know all the actors, as awesome as they're, all of the actors are nerve-racking to get on and play other roles,” martin said.
“they don’t need to spend their whole lives gambling one role and that’s first-rate, that’s remarkable, we had such a first rate cast.”
that doesn’t suggest the “game of thrones” international will not be seen on screens again, martin expressed he has “five other series, 5 prequels in development which can be based on different durations and the records of westeros — a number of them simply a hundred years earlier than ‘GOT,’ a number of them five thousand years before ‘recreation of thrones.'”
