GRRM writes new material for the best new Game of Thrones show

George R.R. Martin, who has not published a new book or novella in six years, is writing new material for a Game of Thrones universe TV series — not the long-awaited novel The Winds of Winter. While Martin has periodically signalled progress on that book, some fans are losing hope. Whether this new TV material will satisfy readers eager for the main saga's conclusion remains uncertain.
