Season One (April 17th, 2011 through June 19th, 2011)The first season of Game of Thrones is based off of Book One of the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire. The book title, A Game of Thrones, is being used as the overarcing title for the whole TV series. The first season consists of ten episodes, written by the show creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, as well as Jane Espenson, Bryan Cogman and the author of the novels himself, George R.R. Martin.
Season TwoThe series was renewed for a second season only a few days after the premiere of the first episode. The season is based off of Book Two, A Clash of Kings. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss continue to write most of the episodes, with George R.R. Martin confirmed to write one episode as well (#9, entitled "Blackwater"). There will be 10 episodes.
Season ThreeThe show's ratings actually improved in season two, so that a third ten episode season was quickly greenlit. As the third book, "A Storm of Swords," is too long to properly fit into that time (having a similar word count to the entirety of The Lord of the Rings), and the ambitious scope of the series precludes making more within a year, this season will see the end of each season equalling one book. George R.R. Martin wrote episode #7, "Autumn Storms."
