Even George R. Martin isn’t ready for the HBO series to conclude.
Ready or not, Games of Thrones will soon come to an end on HBO as its eighth and final season drops in April. George R. Martin, the author who gifted the world with book series that was later developed into a booming television show, is among those who have «mixed feelings» on the show’s conclusion.
Game of Thrones was adapted from Martin’s book series, A Song of Ice and Fire. The show first debuted on HBO in April 2011, leading to a series of nominations and accolades as it grew in popularity with critics and fans. But all good things must come to an end, even Game of Thrones —a show that tells the story of a group of families who are fighting for control over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
Martin, 70, spoke about the fantasy drama’s farewell season in an interview shared via Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday where he claimed to have «mixed feelings about that.
