Sadly being produced by D&D. After their massive Game of Thrones season 8 fuck up, I'm not holding my breath.
Then again, maybe it'll be fine because all the source material is finished and they don't have to fail at writing the end of the story on their own.
I didn't realise that.
I was already somewhat sceptical as I heard that the story is being moved to the U.S. which seemed odd, but it was apparently signed off by Liu Cixin.
I'm still a bit in shock as to how bad GoT season 8 was. So many plotlines and character development were just shredded, burnt and then thrown away. And that battle looked impressive on-screen (if you like watching a black screen with little points of light) but just made absolutely no sense tactically.
If only there was someone else who could have written the ending of the GoT for them.
the first 4 seasons, where they had complete source, were really good; fell off a cliff afterwards obviously - they should do OK with a complete trilogy, though personally I don't understand the interest in those books beyond the premise.
Apparently Netflix are due to do an english version of it too.
