Whether we like it or not , Game of Thrones will end its trial on HBO this summer . And know it’sthe concluding season of the show , the producer asked the Divine of Westeros to grace the serial publication with his presence . He declined .
“ [ Executive producer ] David [ Benioff ] and Dan [ Weiss ] invited me to a cameo in one of the final episodes , which I was tempted to do , ” George R.R. Martin say toEntertainment Weekly . “ But I did n’t think just for the interest of a cameo I could take the meter to return to Belfast . ”
While that may be disappointing on the Earth’s surface , the reasonableness why he did n’t want to go all the way from New Mexico to Northern Ireland for a curt cameo is a good one . He wanted to spend the timecontinuing to writeThe farting of Winter , the highly anticipated sixth novel in the A Song of Ice and Fire series that inspired the show .
In the same interview , Martin also admitted he had filmed a cameo in the first season . He was a Edgar Guest at the wedding between Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo — but that was before Emilia Clarke was cast in the role , so the entire scene was reshot and his cameo was lost . ( Tamzin Merchant was originally cast as Daenerys ) .
Even without the George R.R. Martin cameo , it ’s safe to say we ’re stillvery delirious about Game of Thrones ’ eighth and concluding time of year , which premiere April 14 .
