Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

Joe Abercrombie would be my vote if someone was doing it.

Sandersons books all feel like superhero meets fantasy, and he's too much of a choir boy to match Martin's tone.

Sandersons ... too much of a choir boy to match Martin’s tone

I'd agree, it's not an ideal match. But another talented, perhaps up-and-coming writer (as Sanderson sort of was at the time) could do a good job.

@fpslem @SpruceBringsteen

I think the same matter of authorial obligations pertains in that case

but it's a common society wide problem, Authors don't meet their obligations to readers, Netflix does not meet obligations to fans, and companies does not meet obligations to consumers.
