There is zero sex/naked/kissing/whatever scene in the first book, but of course they will have to change that.
(There has to be a serious problem in America, if they put sex into everything.)
('intimacy coordinator' - Before filming, actors have to sign contracts, so they know exactly what they are doing. They can feel disgust against the other actor, it doesn't matter.)
So they are going to use the HBO formula?
Lets be honest no one that is a fan of the books and payed any attention to the recent remake/ remaster/ reimagine trend has any hope for the series.
I was thinking the same thing. Because of the success of Game of Thrones (and to a lesser extent the popularity of the Witcher series), all the hack writers are going to take the wrong lessons so every new "mature" fantasy series will have sex and/or nudity, and attempts at gritty, subversive violence.
