'Game of Thrones': George R. R. Martin's demand for 13 seasons might take us back 10,000 years
Geroge R. R. Martin had much to say about the end of probably this era's most beloved TV show 'Game of Thrones'. The HBO fantasy series, based on Martin's novel series 'A Song of Ice and Fire', will hit the screens probably for the last time on April 21, 2019. The six-episode-long finale season will either be too happy, too sad or too traumatizing for fans, as Isaac Hempstead- Wright (who plays Bran Stark) would say.
Martin, during the Emmys, told Variety that the show could have easily gone up to 13 seasons, however, it seems that show-makers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss "wanted a life". The author also mentioned, "If you’ve read my novels, you know there was enough material for more seasons." Unfortunately, as the entertainment business goes, show-makers get the last call and after quite a number of arguments on how many seasons should be there, David and Dan had initially settled on only seven seasons. Martin noted, "David and Dan have been saying for five years that seven seasons was all they would go. We got them to go to eight but not any more than that."
