George R.R. Martin isn't always such a big fan of his books' adaptations. He had a few choice words for changes made in House of the Dragon season 2, for example, but he's been nothing but supportive of new spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, according to showrunner Ira Parker.

"George has been such a wonderful partner in this," he says during a roundtable interview attended by GamesRadar+. "I spent a week in Santa Fe with him and some of his favorite writers, and we were just breaking ideas and breaking stories for what season 1 of the show could look like. And there were a lot of surprises that came out of there, just some really wonderful ideas, things that George gravitated towards that we were doing, that we were introducing."
