Season 8 of Game Of Thrones should not be the end, says GRRM

George R.R. Martin does not want HBO's Game of Thrones to end. Sending to the Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of the last season in New York, Martin said he would have liked the series to last longer. But as the main series ends, there could someday be a series of prequel, and of course, he continues to write new books.

"I do not think it should be the last season, but we are there," Martin said. "It seems to me that we just started last week, has it been longer, the time is up, but it's exciting, I know it's an end. but it's not really an end for me, I've seen five more consecutive series in development, and I think I'm going to hang around Westeros while everyone's gone.

Whatever it is, Martin said that he was excited about the cast and the team for what he described as a "very different" show from the main Game of Game program. Thrones.

"They have an excellent director and exceptional cast, I have followed them closely, and I have crossed my fingers," he said. "It's different, it's very different, it's thousands of years old, you're looking at another era of Westeros, no dragons, no iron throne, no King's Landing." will be interesting to see what fans do with that.
