Game of Thrones author, George RR Martin has revealed that he has 8 new shows he’s currently developing as he declared that GOT final episode which aired “Last night was an ending, but it was also a beginning.”
George RR Martin also pointed out that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are moving on to write and direct a Star Wars movie while “you’ll be seeing a lot of them [the cast] in years to come, in all manner of television shows and movies”.
Having saved himself for last, George added:
“I’m still here, and I’m still busy.”
“As a producer, I’ve got five shows in development at HBO (some having nothing whatsoever to do with the world of Westeros), two at Hulu, one on the History Channel,” he writes.“I’m involved with a number of feature projects, some based upon my own stories and books, some on material created by others.
“There are these short films I am hoping to make, adaptations of classic stories by one of the most brilliant, quirky, and original writers our genre has ever produced.
“I’ve consulted on a video game out of Japan.”
“Still busy” feels like an understatement, to be honest.
The finale ended in a divisive manner, to say the least, even though George is still working on the final two Game Of Thrones books as well.
Addressing this, he concluded :
“Winter is coming, I told you, long ago… and so it is. THE WINDS OF WINTER is very late, I know, I know, but it will be done.
“I won’t say when, I’ve tried that before, only to burn you all and jinx myself… but I will finish it, and then will come A DREAM OF SPRING.”
Explaining why it’s taking so long, George explained:
“I expect these last two books of mine will fill 3000 manuscript pages between them before I’m done… and if more pages and chapters and scenes are needed, I’ll add them.”
