There is no shortage of controversial moments in the HBO series Game of Thrones, but one that still gets to star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime Lannister, is the wedding rape between Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Khal Drogo (Jason Mamoa) in season one. The actor spoke with The Times of London (via Insider) while […]

It's no secret there's been some creative differences between author George R. R. Martin and creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss behind the TV series based on his works "A Song of Fire and Ice" in HBO's Game of Thrones. One of the said disagreements was actually in the series' first season. James Hibberd, who […]

One of the biggest letdowns for fans of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series was the omission of Lady Stoneheart in HBO's Game of Thrones. David Benioff and Dan Weiss, creators of the television series whose name is adopted from book one of Martin's novels, made the executive decision to […]

It's been a little less than a month since we last checked in on George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal's Game of Thrones spinoff series House of the Dragon, and now it looks like we have a major update that should get fans smiling. Sources close to production have reported to EW that the casting process […]

A little more than two months after HBO shelved one Game of Thrones prequel pilot while giving George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal's House of The Dragon a series order, HBO President of Programming Casey Bloys has some good news for fans. Written by Condal and based on Martin's novels, House of The Dragon has tapped popular […]

A little over three months after HBO Programming President Casey Bloys announced during the cable giant's summer Television Critics Association (TCA) session that filming on the Jane Goldman-penned Game of Thrones prequel series The Long Night (tentative title) had wrapped, Deadline Hollywood is reporting exclusively that HBO has decided to not move forward with the […]

Dragons will be soaring again over Westeros with HBO reportedly nearing an agreement for a pilot for a prequel series set in the Game of Thrones world based on George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood, a companion book from his A Song of Fire and Ice series focusing on House Targaryen. Fire & Blood […]

Game of Thrones fans looking for something new to toast after their 827th group rant about how much of a "disappointment" the show's finale was, Johnnie Walker and the HBO department that helps bring licensed merchandise like Euphoria hoodies to life (you know it's gonna happen) have got you covered. Starting this month nationwide and […]

There's a big problem with space shows Nightflyers and Another Life  – the astronauts are dangerously stupid. In fact, both shows have remarkably similar plots. So similar that I wondered if Another Life set out to rip off Nightflyers. Both shows are about a mission to intercept an artefact that might be evidence of alien […]

HBO's righteously popular global phenomenon Game of Thrones shuffled off the cable giant's programming coil with finale "The Iron Throne," which left fans with enough to debate and discuss until one of the show's prequel series makes it to air. With The Long Night currently filming its pilot in Northern Ireland (reportedly until working title […]

HBO's righteously popular global phenomenon Game of Thrones shuffled off the cable giant's programming coil with a finale that – hmmm, what the best way to put this ? Let's just say that series finale "The Iron Throne" left fans with enough to debate and discuss until one of the show's prequel series makes it […]

There's a bit of familiar activity going on in Northern Ireland, where the folks behind the Game of Thrones prequel series are currently shooting a pilot. The new series is assumed to be working under the auspices of a future home at HBO, but the series won't actually get a production order until after the […]

HBO's watch has ended when it comes to the main saga of Game of Thrones, and eyes are once again turning to creator George R. R. Martin to FINISH. THE. DAMN. BOOKS. Martin continues to give non-updates on the state of things, and we do sympathize with Grandpa George. Imagine having the responsibility of the most popular […]

Perhaps one of the only opinions that matters in the grand scheme of the last ever episode of Game of Thrones, author George R. R. Martin, has spoken. Rather- he's written, on his "Not A Blog" about the finale of HBO's landmark high fantasy drama series. In the author's own words, which you can read over here: […]

Leading up to the FINAL EPISODE EVER of Game of Thrones on HBO, author George R. R. Martin made a curious stop. He joined Neil deGrasse Tyson for the most recent episode of StarTalk, which just released today. Titled "Playing The Game of Thrones," the episode runs a solid 50 minutes. Who will sit atop the Iron […]

Leave it to George R. R. Martin to continue a literary magic user debate during a Q & A, because that's exactly what he did during the official premiere of Fox Searchlight's Tolkien. "Gandalf could kick Dumbledore's ASS," the Song of Ice and Fire author exclaimed during his chat with Nicholas Hoult (J. R. R. Tolkien in the […]

Author George R. R. Martin took some time out of his busy schedule of not completing the Song of Ice and Fire series to update us all on his Not-A-Blog today on a few different things. GRRM says he went and saw Avengers: Endgame, praises the action in the final battle, and the true hero of the […]

It seems like George R. R. Martin is changing a bit of his tune when it comes to the ending of HBO's Game of Thrones tv show vs. his source material books. Originally Martin said that the end of the written book series would be different from the show's, and both David Benioff and Dan Weiss had agreed […]

Who knew "Game of Thrones" author George R. R. Martin was a self-proclaimed Marvel fanboy? We guess it stands to reason, as he often talks about things he enjoys as far as comics, films, and tv series. Most recently, GRRM "Grandpa George" took to his Not-A-Blog to talk about Marvel Studios' current box office giant, Captain Marvel. […]

We do adore George R. R. Martin, don't let our constant berating of his lack-of-"Winds of Winter" tell you otherwise. We refer to him as Grandpa George sometimes, because he really has taken on the mantle of the wise and (at times) curmudgeon keeper of the Game of Thrones tales. He also apparently can be so idealistic […]
