Overview
- In a new interview cited by The Hollywood Reporter, Martin says a once-productive Season 1 partnership deteriorated in Season 2 as his notes went unheeded.
- He says HBO told him to submit all comments to the network so it could deliver combined notes to showrunner Ryan Condal.
- THR reporting describes a Zoom about Season 3 where Martin objected to the direction and said, “This is not my story any longer,” after which he was asked to step back before returning months later.
- Martin’s September 2024 blog post criticizing changes was removed by his assistant after HBO contacted his manager, and he decided not to repost it.
- He remains actively involved with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which debuts January 18, as House of the Dragon Season 3 is expected to arrive in the summer.
