Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin has revealed that he wants to write more TV episodes.

Martin has penned three episodes of the HBO fantasy drama, but told SFX that his commitment to the original novels limits his involvement with the TV version.

Picture Perfect

"There's part of me that would like to be more involved with the television series - to write three or four scripts each season instead of just one," he admitted.

"But I still have two gigantic books to write and I can't possibly take off time to do that. So the books are my babies."

The author also warned that Game of Thrones fans could soon lose their favourite character, as he is planning to cull a number of characters in future novels.

"It's my intention to cut down the number [of characters], so be afraid, be very afraid - your favourite may not survive the next book!" he hinted.

HBO

Martin previously wrote season one's eighth episode 'The Pointy End', season two's penultimate instalment 'Blackwater' and has written 'The Bear and the Maiden Fair' for the upcoming third season.

The full interview with George RR Martin can be read in the SFX Game of Thrones bookazine, on sale today.

Game of Thrones returns to HBO on Sunday, March 31 and to Sky Atlantic in the UK one day later on Monday, April 1.
