Most people know George R.R. Martin for his A Song of Ice and Fire series, better known as Game of Thrones. But thatâs just one of the authorâs universes. Another that he curates and edits is about to get the same treatment from another major provider. And it stars superheroes.
The saga of the Iron Throne is slowly winding its way to closure, though the next book in A Song of Ice and Fire, The Winds of Winter, is still just a gleam in the eyes of long-suffering fans.
âYouâre going to have to keep waiting for The Winds of Winter,â George R.R. Martin wrote back in April. No shock there. But in that same blog post, the Game of Thrones creator announced a different book: a detailed history of House Targaryen. It comes out later this month, and weâve got an early peek.
JoHalloa, my friends, and also any foes who have nothing better to do! Weâve got a hell of a mailbag this week, so letâs get right to it: Is it worth returning to The Walking Dead if you rage-quit last season? Could Luke Cage and Iron Fistâs cancellations open the door for a Heroes for Hire series?
The golden age of heroes in Westeros has found at least one of its heroes in Naomi Watts.
Syfyâs Nightflyers has an idea of what it wants to beâthe next sci-fi horror, taking the best parts of The Expanse and Event Horizon and fusing them with George R.R. Martinâs beloved novella. The pieces are there for a good show, with a group of (mostly) talented actors and a promising story. Sadly, based on the firstâŚ
âOur mission was clear,â intones the new trailer for Syfyâs upcoming adaptation of George R.R. Martinâs sci-fi horror novella, Nightflyers. âMake contact. Bring back solutions for our dying planet.â You ainât fooling us, Nightflyersâwe can tell that your real mission is to scare the hell out of everyone.
HBOâs Game of Thrones is an intense and gripping series that takes no prisoners. These people betray, murder, and zombify each other ad nauseam. They donât know how else to spend their time. And since Westeros doesnât have consoles or wifi, our beloved heroes (and villains) canât buck the system with a few harmlessâŚ
Playing A Game of Thrones: The Board Game was one of the most intense experiences of my lifeâit remains the only board game Iâve ever stormed away from out of anger, sorry family. But if I thought that was an extreme Game of Thrones experience, I too know nothing, Jon Snow. Because thereâs a new Song of Ice and Fire âŚ

It was a cute joke at the beginning. âI watch Game of Thrones, but there are so many characters, I canât keep them all straight.â But then the show got a second season, a third season, and became one of the biggest, most popular TV shows in history. Names like Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Brienne of Tarth, and AryaâŚ
Game of Thrones may be ending in 2019, but the song of ice and fire will continue. HBO has greenlit a prequel series about Westerosâ Golden Age of Heroes, helmed by Jane Goldman (the Kingsman series, Kick-Ass) and A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R.R. Martin. This age spans thousands of years, and thereâs no wayâŚ
George R.R. Martin is no stranger to killing off beloved characters. HBOâs Game of Thrones, and his A Song of Ice and Fire series that inspired it, are littered with the corpses of heroes, villains, and everyone in between. How did Martin become so comfortable with shocking his audience? Because when he was a kid,âŚ
Itâs been over a year since Game of Thrones last aired, but the mystery of Viserion still lingers like a chilly breeze on a gross muggy day in midtown Manhattan. Now, thanks to a look at the script, we know the answers behind a couple of those key questions: Is he an ice dragon or a wight? Does he breathe fire or ice?âŚ
HBO has been hard at work figuring out how itâs going to continue the Game of Thrones legacy. This included commissioning a whopping five potential spinoffs set within the A Song of Ice and Fire universe. Now that one has been approved, it looks like the other ones have gotten the Ned Stark treatment.
Weâve already had more than a few glimpses at Syfyâs adaptation of George R.R. Martinâs classic sci-fi horror novella Nightflyers, promising plenty of spookiness. But our latest look is definitely the biggest, and itâs legitimately haunting.
Last weekâs news of Jane Goldmanâs Game of Thrones prequel pilot may not be the end of HBOâs spinoff plans. Of course, weâve known for some time that HBO was considering five possible prequels to continue, and expand, the Game of Thrones universeâbut we still have no idea just how many will pan out. Goldmanâs showâŚ
HBO has just given a pilot order to Jane Goldmanâs Game of Thrones spinoff, one of five potential follow up shows to the acclaimed series currently in the worksâand with it, we have the first story details, revealing a show set well before the Westeros weâre familiar with.
George R.R. Martin is living his very best life and doing whatever the hell he wants. Though itâs sure to disappoint some of his fans, the former Livejournal user is moving full steam ahead with a new animated film based one of his non-Game of Thrones books. But donât worry, thereâs still a dragon.
Syfy may have just canceled one of the best scifi shows around, but itâs got two interesting genre projects coming up in the form of Nightflyers and Deadly Classâand now we have teasers for both, including a meaty first look at the latter, from the directorial minds behind Avengers: Infinity War.
