Overview
- Martin says Ryan Condal stopped implementing his notes in season two after a collaborative first season.
- HBO asked Martin to submit notes through executives, later told him to step back for a few months, and then brought him back, according to his account.
- During a season three planning call, Martin says he told HBO the series was no longer his story, with the new season now in post-production.
- Condal has said he tried to keep Martin involved but had to prioritize production realities to fulfill his duties as showrunner.
- Separately, Martin praises A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and showrunner Ira Parker says Martin shared outlines for 12 additional Dunk & Egg stories as the team works on a second ordered season.
