WiC Weekly: October 13-19
By Dan Selcke
It’s time for WiC Weekly, where we round up all the news related to Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, fantasy and science fiction worth knowing. Let’s begin!
First up, a lot of the Game of Thrones cast members are dropping hints about what’s to come in the final season, and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) dropped one of the juiciest:

HBO has yet to announce a premiere date for Game of Thrones season 8. But it has announced the premiere date for another show…

And really, we may not need to think that hard about the season 8 premiere date, not when there are new episodes of The Last Kingdom around the corner:
It's not #GameofThrones, but it's still plenty reason to get excited: https://t.co/8Be2LqDS8D

We all knew there was some kind of behind-the-scenes documentary about Game of Thrones season 8 coming. But will we be ready when it drops?
Sean Bean (Ned Stark) joined the rest of the cast for a #GameofThrones reunion special. They're gonna air it closer to season 8, whereupon I will promptly tear up: https://t.co/5J0Nb9iZIQ pic.twitter.com/0xxQw9ghoU

This is how close to the vest Game of Thrones cast members are keeping the ending:
Kit Harington (Jon Snow) hasn’t even told Rose Leslie (Ygritte) how #GameofThrones ends. Also, is Harington in consideration to play Batman? Really: https://t.co/46jCAJvRXe pic.twitter.com/ErHLnsZHCF

Next, bad news for Loras:

I’m sorry, but how bad did the ratings for Iron Fist have to be for Netflix to cancel a show about a Marvel superhero? They’re loathe to cancel anything.
Moving on, George R.R. Martin doesn’t give many interviews these days, but when he does, he goes all out:

You can clearly see the Game of Thrones influence in Netflix’s new series The Dragon Prince. Is it worth your time?
