HBO CEO Richard Plepler joked, “Our line to George [R.R. Martin is] to keep writing.”
Game of Thrones is currently HBO’s most successful series. While their other big show, True Blood, has been seeing some viewership declines year-over-year, Game of Thrones’ audience continues to grow.
The first season averaged 2.52 million viewers for initial airings while season two drew an estimated 3.8 million. Season three, which finished airing in early June, averaged a whopping 4.97 million.
Game of Thrones was renewed for a fourth season back in April but we won’t see new episodes until some time in 2014.
