George R. R. Martin Has Never Finished Final Book, But He’s Got Another Westeros TV Series Coming

Share

Remember when George R. R. Martin was finishing the final “Game of Thrones” novel?

No? Well, he never did, and the series concluded without it.

“House of the Dragon” has subsequently become a hit HBO series from Martin and crew.

Now another Westeros TV show is filming. It’s called “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” It’s more swords and shields, set a century before “Game of Thrones.” I think that means in between “Game” and “Dragon.”

Will there be dragons? You can count on it. Also, humans: Finn Bennett as Aerion Targaryen, Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford as Tanselle, Daniel Ings as Ser Lyonel Barotheon, and Sam Spruell as Maekar Targaryen. The only name we know is Bertie Carvel.

Martin is listed as executive producer. He will never finish that book at this point.

But we getting to learn how to spell Targaryen!
