Martin still has more plans for Dunk and Egg, time permitting The mind behind Game Of Thrones calls writing A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms “one of the best decisions I ever made. ” Drew Gillis — By Drew Gillis | | 3:32pm Photograph /HBO TV News A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Copy to clipboard × Copy Link Copy Link — Facebook X Reddit Bluesky Email 0 It has been nearly 15 years since George R. (we’re not making this up)

Martin dropped a book in the A Song Of Ice And Fire series.

The Details

This fact tends to annoy both the fandom of the series, who have become increasingly resigned to never actually getting to see the end of the series as its author intended, and Martin, who has become decidedly over all that negativity . Surely, then, everyone will be thrilled to hear that hes musing again about writing more stories in The Tale of Dunk And Egg series.

If I have the time, there’s more stories to tell about Dunk and Egg and their education and what’s gonna befall them in future years, Martin says in a new interview with HBOs The Official Game of Thrones Podcast . There are rn three novellas in the series, the first of which has been adapted into the first season of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms , scheduled to premiere on HBO on January 18.

Why This Matters

In the podcast, Martin calls the novellas one of the best decisions I ever made as a writer, allowing him to focus on the common people of Westeros and on only one POV character for narration. (In contrast, A Dance With Dragons , the most recent ASOIAF book, had 18 different POV characters. ) but, that if I have time contains a pretty major if.

Entertainment industry insiders have been buzzing about this.

The Bottom Line

Martin has maintained since 2014 that he wont be writing anymore of Dunk and Eggs tales until he finishes The Winds Of Winter , the ASOIAF book everyone has been waiting a decade and a half for. He reaffirmed this position about a year ago.

How do you feel about this development?
