Fans of A Song of Ice and Fire probably have already figured that Game of Thrones would deviate from the novels at some point. If you’ve read the series you are aware that they all are close to 1,000 pages each. Since the series is only 10 episodes, that is a lot of material to cover. The Hollywood Reporter asked the creators to reveal their game plan for how they plan to adapt the series for television.
The second book in ASOIAF is titled, “Clash of Kings,” but the creators want fans to know that the second season of Game of Thrones will not be a strict adaptation of the second novel, but a continued adaptation to the whole series.
Not only does David Benioff and D.B. Weiss plan to split “A Storm of Swords” (Book 3) into two season, but they also plan to combine books 4 and 5. This is largely due to the fact that those two books cover the same timeline from different view points. As Weiss tells THR:
“Fans of the books will obviously have more of a line into events, but we’re taking approaches that might surprise them as well. A lot of the characters that George created are so rich and so wonderful that you often find yourself wondering what would happen if this one met that one: When Robb [Richard Madden] finds himself alone with Jaime [Nikolaj Coster-Waldau], for instance, what do they say? And we’ve been blessed with such fabulous, talented actors that you really find yourself just wanting to write more and more for them, to explore the characters that they’re making their own.”
