Overview
- Martin says his Season 2 notes were ignored and that HBO instructed him to route feedback through the network rather than directly to Ryan Condal.
- THR reports a Season 3 Zoom meeting escalated to Martin saying, "This is not my story any longer," after which HBO asked him to step away before bringing him back months later.
- House of the Dragon Season 3 is slated for summer 2026, following a second season that drew more criticism than Season 1 and heightened scrutiny of creative choices.
- Martin describes a far smoother collaboration on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with showrunner Ira Parker, as that series debuts January 18–19.
- HBO is in very early development on a reworked sequel concept with writer Quoc Dang Tran that could involve Arya Stark and Essos, though Kit Harington has recently said he does not want to return as Jon Snow.
