Other background on the production of de Game of thrones, the famous HBO TV series, and in particular on the relationship between the television production company and the author of the original books, George RR Martin, which apparently would have wanted 10 seasons from HBO in order to have a more complete and developed story.
The details emerge once again from the book Tinderbox: HBO’s Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers by James Andrew Miller, which explains various aspects and stories related to the productions of the famous company linked to television content, including the fact that Martin has always had an attitude rather critical of the television series finale and also the background on the cancellation of the prequel despite the 30 million dollars already spent.
In this case we return to talk about Martin and his relationships with the authors of the TV series, David Benioff and DB Weiss, who have always been excellent but have seen a departure after Season 5.
From this point on, in fact, the TV series broke away from the events already narrated in the books and followed one own way, and with this also began the problems and controversies on the part of the public.
According to reports in the book, Martin appears to have complained repeatedly that the authors weren’t following the guidelines and the template that he had provided to get to the bottom of the story and this would be confirmed by the fact that the writer had foreseen at least 10 seasons of Game of Thrones.
According to reports from Martin’s agent, Paul Hass, the writer would often go to New York to speak with the executives of HBO responsible for the series, “begging” them to allow Game of Thrones to reach 10 seasons. each consisting of 10 episodes. According to the author of The Song of Ice and Fire, the universe he created can give the possibility to expand the narrative in various directions, so much so that he previously reported that the TV series could have reached 13 seasons.
HBO has instead decided to close the story with Season 8, however, consisting of only 6 episodes (although longer), after the 7 of Season 7, therefore reducing significantly the project that Martin had in mind for the TV series. On the other hand, the authors Benioff and Weiss also wanted to devote themselves to other projects and, in the same way, it would not have been easy to keep all the imposing cast of the series linked to The Throne of Swords for such a long period of time, therefore the HBO’s choice may also be understandable.
