George RR Martin making new HBO show

Fans of George R.R. Martin are fully aware of the author's slow progress in getting projects brought to completion, such as the latest “Song of Ice and Fire” novel “The Winds of Winter”.

Thus, few things should strike fear in his fans' hearts more than news that he's now developing a brand new TV show. On the plus side, it's for HBO and he won't be too heavily involved. 

Martin's new project is a sci-fi drama called “Captain Cosmos”, and it will take place in 1949, as TV is just starting to become a more popular form of entertainment.

The story will center on a science fiction writer who spends his days writing stories for a series that no other authors would dream of writing.

Unfortunately, that's the only description revealed by EW, so we're not quite sure what the tone will be, or how much the episodes will feature the stories the guy is writing. Still, it's an interesting bare-bones premise.
