"Whether he meant to or not, Martin founded a media empire. The original show was nominated for and almost every main cast member went on to post- success. Besides the books and the HBO show, the fantasy world he created has more TV shows constantly "in development," including a potential Jon Snow and/or Arya Stark sequel, according to the interview. There are Game of Thrones card games, board games, video games, and enormous amounts of merch."
"In terms of cultural significance, ranks alongside Harry Potter and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whether it's Blake Lively calling herself "Khaleesi" or the fact that we may one day have a President Arya , the series is permanently embedded in our cultural consciousness."
"With 15 years and counting between books, the odds of both being done anytime soon are not great. He mentions in the interview that he has "around 1,100" pages of Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring ."
George R.R. Martin confirmed that if he dies before finishing the last two A Song of Ice and Fire books, "My work won't be finished." Martin is 77 and has two enormous remaining novels, with the most recent series volume published in 2011 and 15 years elapsing since. Martin reports having around 1,100 pages toward Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. The franchise has expanded into a media empire with multiple TV projects, games, board games, video games, and extensive merchandise. The franchise's cultural impact rivals Harry Potter and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Martin should publicly name a successor to help ensure completion if he cannot finish the books.
