Game of Thrones, the Warner Bros. goose that lays the golden eggs
Given the success of the television adaptation of Game of Thrones, we can expect, without any major surprises, that more projects will be released in the same universe in the coming years. To stay in the format that made the license popular, HBO has ordered a new series set in the world of Westeroswhich this time serves as a prequel to the well-known events of the show.

A productive author … and procrastinator
Although he has been writing books since the 1980s, Especially with the Game of Thrones saga, or Game of Thrones in our country, George RR Martin made a name for himself in the general publicThe latter, for example, became one of the leading heroic fantasy novelists alongside JRR Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) thanks to the HBO series adaptation of his universe.
