HBO confident in second season
HBO says they are confident that Game of Thrones will get picked up for a second season, according to James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly.
HBO’s lavish fantasy epic Game of Thrones may be the biggest TV gamble in years, but even before the drama premieres Sunday night, odds are favorable that HBO will renew the show. Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have been told to start thinking about storylines for next season, while HBO series chief Sue Naegle tells EW network executives feel optimistic that the series will get another round.
“We’re not nervous about it,” she says. “We’re all hopeful for a second season. We’re all feeling confident creatively.”
Winter Is Coming: In other words, the show is essentially greenlit and they are just waiting until Monday to announce it. Haven’t I been saying this for weeks now? Well, in four days it will be made official. Everyone prepare yourselves for another year of Thrones fun!
