Bran is written out of this season completely.. His storyline was always criticized in both book and show as slow and plodding and they have a lot of shit to cover this year..
Quote:Supposedly they have a plan out to book 7, even if book 6 or 7 are not written by the time the seasons start, which seems likely. I find it interesting that the writers of the show are creating paths that Martin will have to follow. Which is not his writing style. My understanding is he doesn't always know where the book will take him when he is writing.
They know the fate of every character, but the storylines are diverging enough in this season that its doubtful he will feel obligated to oblige anything in the show - best to look at it as two different stories that will just end in a similar place, but take different routes there. The biggest thing will be that the overarching cliffhangers are probably going to be spoiled for book readers.
