No, winter is not coming… not in 2018, at least, Martin wrote.
Youre going to have to keep waiting forThe Winds of Winter.
You will, however, be able to return to Westeros this year.

I do want to stress… indeed, I want toshout… thatFire and Bloodis not a novel.
This is not a traditional narrative and was never intended to be… lets call this one imaginary historyinstead.
The essential point being the history part.
Martin has another TV series based on his work: Syfys space horror dramaNightflyers, coming later this year.
Hes also closely involved with the development of a potential prequel series toGame of Thronesfor HBO.
Fire and Bloodwill be released in hardcover on Nov. 20.
