George R. R. Martin warns fans of "Game of Thrones" that there will be surprising deaths in the upcoming season 5 of the hit TV series.
The book author revealed this when he attended the Writers Guild Awards
West Coast ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 14.
"People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy," he told Showbiz411. "So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (series co-creators and showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss) are even bloodier than I am."
Asked about the future of the show, Martin was unsure how long it would last. "Not really certain yet," he said, "This is the fifth season, the sixth season HBO picked up last year. We will have a 7th, 8th or 9th, no one knows. They only renew one or two seasons at a time. After we do season 6, maybe we'll get a renewal for 7th and 8th. That all depends, television is a very changeable medium."
