While many of us are sitting on the edge of our seat waiting for the conclusion to the Song of Fire and Ice Series; it would seem like author George R.R. Martin has other ideas as he's signed a new deal with HBO.
Martin has signed a deal which will keep him on board as a Co-Executive Producer for Game of Thrones. Which doesn't mean much as this has been a position he's held for the duration of the show , but he generally contributes his writing efforts to one episode a season.
More interesting is the news that he'll be developing and producing a new series for HBO. This is by no means a confirmation of a full season order. However, considering the success HBO has had with Game of Thrones, a full season order is likely. It's worth noting that Martin has a considerable resume of TV writing credits under his belt writing for The late 80's Beauty and the Beast TV series as well as The Twilight Zone.
