It's no secret that people are desperate for George R. R. Martin to continue the Game of Thrones novels with the sixth installment The Winds of Winter. The author has been tinkering away at the book for over 15 years now, having written four chapters before HBO's hit adaptation even started airing in 2011 – but fans are still waiting on its completion.

With that, a reader took it upon themself to ask Martin for an update at Seattle WorldCon 2025, but their untactful directedness hasn't gone down well with the wider community.

Game of Thrones is streaming now on HBO Max. For more, check out our picks of the 100 best TV shows of all time. (Spoiler alert, GOT comes in at #6).
