In November 2025, ahead of the first season premiere, the series was renewed for a second season, which is expected to be released in 2027.
January 20Jan 20 Author I read the 3 novellas book (Tales of Dunk and Egg) and the comic. I would rate it about a 4 out of 5- solid but not ASOIAF 1-3 level. Tales of Dunk and Egg are better written than books 4-5 of ASOIAF. TBH I don't think they are good enough to be made into a show without the GRRM/ASOIAF connection.These are much smaller and much less ambitious stories than HOTD or GOT which is why they were adapted. This show is much cheaper to make than HOTD.GRRM provided 12 outlines for the other novellas. He probably didn't write them...The NationalGeorge RR Martin has outlined 12 unpublished stories for...Series co-creator worked closely with the author in writing the first season
