George R.R. Martin spills some ambitious details on A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight
Martin promises to write more stories for the show… just as soon as The Winds Of Winter comes out
We like to kid George R.R. Martin around here from time to time, mostly on account of that whole “It has been 12 god damned years since the last A Song Of Ice And Fire book came out” thing. But we have to admit that it’s genuinely nice that Martin is way more communicative with his fans than a lot of authors in his position might be, often disseminating new tidbits of information through his famed “not-a-blog.”
Thus a new post from the author today, spilling some new details about new “Max” series A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. (Martin notes that the creators really wanted to get the word “knight” in the title: They succeeded!) Among other things, Martin confirmed that the first season has been fully green-lit by HBO, hypothetically running for six episodes, and covering the entirety of the novella of the same name. Martin also re-iterated that, under no circumstances was the series ever going to be referred to by its frequent name among readers, Tales Of Dunk & Egg, because, “If you don’t know the characters, DUNK & EGG sounds like a sitcom. LAVERNE & SHIRLEY. ABBOTT & COSTELLO. BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD. So, no.”
