'Game of Thrones' News, Spoilers: Author George R.R. Martin Confirms Deaths Not Written in Books

Writer George R.R. Martin for the popular 'Game of Thrones' book series has confirmed some unforeseen deaths for season five of the show.

Fans of the books and HBO series alike will recognize Martin as the "sadist," by nonchalantly killing fans' character favorites, but it would seem that this time readers of the books won't be able to predict who's going live or die.

In a recent interview with Showbiz 411, the writer states:

"People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones) are even bloodier than I am."

Martin has no particularly say what the producers do on the show, so he'll be exempt from anything season five has in store.

When asked how many seasons the show has left, Martin answered:

"Not really certain yet. 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."

"It's the hottest show on TV now, but will it be the hottest show on TV two years from now? Hot shows come and go and television changes, and I've lived through that before. I certainly hope that we get to tell the entire story. Because whatever happens with the show I'm going to finish the books, it will be seven books. But each of these books are 1500 pages long and they each have enough material in them for several seasons. I have two more books, the one I'm writing right now, 'The Winds Of Winter,' and after that the last book, 'The Dream of Spring,' so those will be the two final books. But we're talking 3000 pages of material. How many seasons that translates too? That's up to D.B. And David."

It's already been confirmed that the television series will surpass the books at some point, so the producers will soon have free liberty to dictate how they want the show to run.
