Game of Thrones aired its final season three years ago, and it ended what was supposed to be the story that George R.R. Martin began with his book A Song of Fire and Ice. Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss had to create the final two seasons under Martin’s guidance, as the Game of Thrones creator hadn’t finished the final book in the series. Martin has been writing The Winds of Winter for years and has been promising fans that he would deliver it soon. The book will more than likely feature a different ending than the HBO series, as the ending that aired back in 2019 was the subject of controversy. Now, Martin has revealed how much more he has to write to finish the book. While appearing on Stephen Colbert’s Tooning Out the News, the writer said that he has officially finished around “1, 100 to 1,200” pages and that he’d have “another 400, 500 pages” to finish before he concluded the novel. Martin also cites “writer’s constipation” as the reason for the long wait.
