George R. R. Martin, the author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series upon which Game of Thrones is based, revealed in an interview with the official Game of Thrones podcast that the upcoming House of the Dragon "is different from Game of Thrones in some significant ways".
The Game of Thrones finale, which aired on May 19, 2019, left many viewers dissatisfied and disappointed.
According to some reports, Martin was not involved with many of the creative decisions that occured from Season 5 onwards.
With House of the Dragon, this is set to change. He serves as co-creator with Ryan J. Condal and has greater creative input than with Game of Thrones. He also serves as one of the show's executive producers.
