Game of Thrones Season 5 Trailer and Bad News for Book Fans

UPDATED WITH OFFICIAL TRAILER IN HD:

For those of you (like myself) in lesser realms not deemed fit to have Game of Thrones released in IMAX, here's a peek at the just-released season 5 trailer:


Exciting to be sure!

What's not so thrilling is official publisher confirmation that George R.R. Martin definitely won't be releasing The Winds of Winter (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book Six) this year. In fact, Martin's publisher HarperCollins, admits that 2016 might not see it either. It looks like this upcoming season (debuting April 12th) will see the HBO series fully caught up to events in the books, so in a very exciting reversal of norms, we're probably going to see seasons 6 and 7 charge ahead of the books, before they're actually published. After all, the showrunners pretty much know how it all ends, and have already made some significant departures in this next season to align with their master plan.

It is known.
