George RR Martin recently sat down to talk House of the Dragon Season 2, where he confirmed that Winterfell and House Stark will return.

GRRM recently spoke in an interview on the expanding scope that House of the Dragon will see in Season 2. He gave a brief overview of Season 1 and how limited the locations felt in comparison to Game of Thrones. This, of course, he says will change in Season 2.

Along with confirming that House Stark and Winterfell will appear next season, Martin also teases that the Riverlands, Harrenhal, and other places with more families and dragons joining the fray.

“GRRM confirms that House Stark and Winterfell will make their return in Season 2 of #HouseOfTheDragon“

“He also says Season 2 will be a challenge because of the range of different Houses and characters that will come into play! “It just gets bigger.””

Martin recently spoke about his creative control over the series, which he seems to be having more of with House of the Dragon, and even went so far as to say he doesn’t want to end up like Stan Lee.

While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in an interview, George R.R. Martin outlined how he doesn’t want his dynamic with Game of Thrones to end up like Stan Lee’s dynamic with the MCU.

“George R.R. Martin wants to remain in control of #GameOfThrones and not end up like Stan Lee with Marvel”

“He had no power, no influence… just a friendly person they brought to conventions and who did cameos. To be sidelined on the world [you] created, that would be tough”

He wasn’t writing any stories. He couldn’t say, ‘don’t do this character’”

Martin also made comments about how he would like to see his universe built out in the same capacity as Marvel and Star Wars but apparently, with him having more creative control over the ongoings.
