We can’t tell you what’s going to be included in the upcoming eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” — because we honestly have no idea — but we can tell you what won’t be: an appearance by “A Song of Ice and Fire” author George R.R. Martin.
However, that’s not for lack of trying on “Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ part, who apparently attempted to get him into a scene in one of the show’s remaining six episodes.
“David and Dan invited me to a cameo in one of the final episodes, which I was tempted to do,” Martin told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday.
