Some Season 5 news...

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.

 

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?

 

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. How do you reckon books four and five will be done?

 

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.

 

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

Doubtful.

 

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.

Most likely.

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.

 

Please do not spoil anything.

Hodor.

They've already added some book 5 stuff in.  All that happened to Bran happens in book 5.  Book 4 and book 5 are simultaneous storylines happening in different places.  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.  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.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Joins Season Five

According to Hollywood Reporter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will be joining the cast of Games Of Thrones in the upcoming fifth season of the critically acclaimed show. Unfortunately details of the character are not being released and so far we only know the character?s name will be "Malko", a new character created for the HBO?s series.

 

Beside Thor The Dark World, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has also appeared on the ABC drama Lost and the comicbook adaptation Bullet To The Head. The report also says he will play Virgil Brooks on Jay Roach?s  Trumbo, a story of the blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo.

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.
