In a joint statement, Benioff, Weiss, and Woo expressed their excitement about continuing the story to its grand conclusion. “We’re thrilled that we get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion.

Weiss also touched on the challenges they expect to face in the second season while promoting the series at Deadline’s Contenders TV event last month. “This kind of eases you into the world of the story but the story gets really wild in the best possible way,” he noted.
“With something that’s that wild, there are a lot of choices to be made and a lot of things to be figured out. We’ve been putting our heads together to figure them out recently especially the past couple of months.”
