Kristen Nairn confirms he won't be in Season 5

Fans around the world are hungry for the next series of Game of Thrones, but they will have to be patient*.*

"We have a season off and we have a year's hiatus, solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books," he said.

"So, I get my year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world."

I haven't read the books and don't plan to, for now, but am aware of their relation with the series.

Β 

The series producers have mentioned that they're looking for 7-8 seasons in total, but how could they do that if the last two books aren't even out yet?

Β 

Can GRRM really release two books in 3-4 years from now?

If not, does it mean the series will end the story without them?

For book readers; apparently book three was done in two seasons, instead of the usual one book per season.Β How do you reckon books four and five will be done?

Β 

Please do not spoil anything.

They know the story outline and where each character's story-arc is going. They don't have details or dialogues most likely, but they've gradually been changing those anyway.

Β 

Can GRRM really release two books in 3-4 years from now?

Doubtful.

Β 

EDIT: On top of that, if they plan on finishing in 7 seasons, that means they start writing the final scripts in early 2016. So it would basically mean he'd need to have book 6 done next year, and book 7 done the year after that.

Β

Most likely.

Β

They'll trim the fat and combine them into one season. This is basically confirmed at this point, the only thing no one knows is how much they plan to cut and if they plan to remove some stuff altogether or move some of it to season 6.

Β 

Please do not spoil anything.

They've already added some book 5 stuff in. Β All that happened to Bran happens in book 5. Β Book 4 and book 5 are simultaneous storylines happening in different places. Β They do have a lot of Dorne stuff to catch up on though and a lot happens to Tyrion and Arya and Sam and Jon Snow plus a few new characters that has to be covered. Β I would figure with as few eps per season as they have that they could make the rest of books 4 and 5 that they haven't already covered into two seasons.

I upgraded to a cable package that included hbo and binge watched all four seasons of this in about a month. I don't think the killing of favorite characters is quite so impactful when you don't have as much time to connect with them :P but its an excellent series. I'll like read the books when I'm finished with a few others I'm reading.

Game of Thrones Cast Renews Contracts Through Season 7

Although "Game of Thrones" was renewed in April through season 6, HBO decided to hedge their bets by adding the option, which does not guarantee a seventh season will be greenlit but will still allow for huge raises for seasons 5 and 6. Said raises were doled out on a tier system, with the "A" tier of Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) receiving the biggest uptick.

The not-so-tactfully named "B" tier includes co-stars Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) will not earn as much as the big guns in "A" tier but will still score raises higher than a third tier of regular actors who will receive much smaller pay increases.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
