'Game of Thrones' Season 4 Spoilers: 'It's Going to Surpass Season 3,' Says Showrunner
At this week's Comic-Con in San Diego, members of the "Game of Thrones" cast, writer staff and production crew were on hand to discuss the upcoming much anticipated season of the hit HBO drama. Beware of spoilers below.
When talking to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner David Benioff provided some exciting information about the upcoming season. It appears he is expecting big things for the new season.
"It's the toughest production schedule we've ever had," Benioff said. "We got more action, which is obviously more time consuming. It's a brutal shooting season ahead. But if we can make it through, yeah, I think it's going to surpass season three. The last three episodes, there's so many scenes we've been waiting for so long to do. And it just gets more and more fun to write for these characters."

"After three years of doing it, we have that much more comfort to make everything uncomfortable for them. We're very excited for it. Season five gives me nightmares, but [not season four]," he added.
Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister in "Game of Thrones" also spoke about the upcoming season. The actor agrees with Benioff that this season could be the best.
"I just finished reading the scripts, and the scripts these guys have turned out are my favorite so far of the whole series," Dinklage said.
It is expected that the forth season of the HBO drama will be heavily based on "A Storm of Swords," and "A Feast for Crows," which are the third and fourth books, respectively, in the series penned by George R. R. Martin.
