They'll still retain the basic elements and draw from GRRM's plans to a certain degree, much as how the MCU takes elements and amalgamates them into the movies, but doesn't strictly follow them.
Really? I love it, don't get me wrong, but I think Breaking Bad was better.
And I adore the books, even though they are starting to suffer from what I call Jordanism (any WoT readers will understand what I mean), and the TV show is great, great casting, special effects and so forth, I find the convoluted plot does not transfer as well to TV as other stories might.
The opening credits, however, are the best of any TV show ever. I get chills every time.
