'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Spoilers, Plot News: Surprises for Fans and Readers
The upcoming season of "Game of Thrones" is expected to surprise many fans of the series, as well as readers of the George R. R. Martin novels.
Unlike the previous seasons of the HBO series "Game of Thrones," season 6 will be released before the source material, which is the sixth installment in Martin's novel series titled "The Winds of Winter."
With that, readers and fans will have to watch the upcoming season in order to find out first about what will happen to their favorite characters. While the novel "The Winds of Winter" has yet to be released, Martin shared a photo of the book's cover on his Live Journal, where he posted, "Here it is, the first of January. The book is not done, not delivered. No words can change that. I tried, I promise you. I failed. I blew the Halloween deadline, and I've now blown the end of the year deadline. And that almost certainly means that no, THE WINDS OF WINTER will not be published before the sixth season of GAME OF THRONES premieres in April."
