I don’t think GRRM has even hinted at working on any Dany chapters the last 11 years meaning this is likely the last thing he wrote (and will ever write) about her.

The development signals an intriguing new direction in HBO’s handling of author George R.R. Martin’s fantasy universe, a move not unlike Disney+’s management of its Star Wars and Marvel brands where the streamer has found success launching character-focused sequel series such as WandaVision (starring Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (with Ewan McGregor reprising his iconic role).

Can't wait to see what wacky adventures johnny snows gets up to north of the wall where there's literally no towns and like 12 people left.
Now that I think about it, why would they even go back, there's been like 2 massive wars and a zombie apocalypse in the already sparsely populated north, they could just stay where it's slightly less lovely and nobody would be able to do anything about it.

Presumably there has been a thaw, with an age of heroes* nation revealed. Though that may not be the show they want to make.

I legit can’t remember if he was explicitly exiled north of the Wall or just sent back to the Nights Watch (which has no point at all now) and went “gently caress this” and went North. As if it matters.

It's probably just going to be wildling adventures, I assume they did some research and figured that's what people liked most about the old Jon Snow storyline.

I guess theoretically you could do a pretty nice political or mythological storyline too, like he finds out about the true nature of Bran or learns more about the Children of the Forest and so on. But given that him rising from the dead and him being a secret Targ were just ignored in the main series, I suppose the show makers aren't really interested in that sort of plot.

Everything to do with White Walkers seems like poison after their unbelievably unsatisfactory plot in the main series. It’s part of why that Long Night pilot was binned.

I think it's really funny and probably misguided HBO are trying to make GoT into a Star Wars, given that it's already regarded as a very mixed bag with the terribleness of the last season being a meme, Star Wars had 30 years of nostalgia working in its favor following the extremely positively received original trilogy (cause I guess people back in the 80s were less sensitive to things like 'hey, the third movie is actually poo poo'), people were willing to overlook a lot of cruminess due to nostalgia, with GoT people already figured out it was mostly poo poo as it happens, will people really stick around for "Borgias - Platinum Blonde Fantasy Edition" or whatever it is the new show is meant to be if it isn't genuinely good? and what are the odds any of it is good it's not like GRRM's fake histories were really all the compelling, everyone who read them was just skimming for clues on the main series. I don't know thread.
