'Game of Thrones' rumors concerning 'A Storm of Swords'
Rumor: HBO to order two more seasons, film them back-to-back
We reported on this in another post, but the rumors continue to swirl and so we thought it deserved its own post. We are now hearing from multiple sources that HBO plans to order both seasons three and four and film them back-to-back (à la Lord of the Rings). It has already been confirmed that A Storm of Swords would be covered in more than one season. From what we have heard, much of the film crew in Northern Ireland has been told of this plan and has been advised to expect nine months of filming next year.
Winter Is Coming: I have no doubt that this is an option that HBO is exploring, perhaps even leaning towards, but I don’t think it is a done deal just yet. HBO likely won’t announce anything official until season two begins, so they could change their minds before then.
It does make sense though, to do it this way, as they’ve already said they will be splitting book three into multiple seasons. This way they get the whole of the book filmed in one go, saving on production costs and keeping the kids from aging in between seasons.

Hmmm... what do you all think, House ONTD? I mean, I guess it makes sense given the fact that it is the same book they'll be filming, and the kids aging (including the Reeds, if/when they're cast).

Any guesses as to where they'd split the seasons?
And YES JAIME/BRIENNE. AND JUST JAIME.
OMG YES! Love them together.
So he did.
SWOON FOREVER. AND THEY START FIGHTING AGAIN.
I love them.
On a separate note, ASoS was my favourite of all the books so far, so I'd be pretty happy to see it given a more detailed treatment.
Still not over it. I say this all the time but I read the red wedding part when I was seven months pregnant and threw the book across the room. I still can't bear to start up again and my daughter will be 2 in April.
YUSS
Breakdown is imminent
Also, LOL @ "House ONTD." I like it!
cackling rn.
only fitting, tbh. omg ASoS will be so glorious/heartbreaking/amazing/devastati
I think it's good. More for us tbh and it's super long so they were going to need more than one season to fit stuff in. I need to hurry up and finish ACoK ughh
FUCK YEA!
& I hope you're enjoying AFFC so far! I think it gets a bad rep from the fans but I really liked it myself. I'd rank it amongst my top 3, tbh.
