'Wild Cards' will be coming to a small screen near you soon!

George RR Martin, the man behind Game of Thrones, has just announced that Wild Cards, the comic book series he edits, will be turned into a television series.

Wild Cards looks at a number of characters in the US during the post-World War II era who contracted an alien virus that gave them superhuman abilities, which they eventually used to become superheroes.

"Universal Cable Productions (UCP) [known for Mr. RobotSuits and Colony] has acquired the rights to adapt our long-running Wild Cards series of anthologies and mosaic novels for television. Development will begin immediately on what we hope will be the first of several interlocking series," Martin wrote on his blog.

"Which stories will be adapted? Which characters will be featured? Hard to say at this early stage," he asked fans.

While he said he won't be working on the show because "my own development deal is exclusive to HBO, and I am writing THE WINDS OF WINTER," he believes that "I have every confidence in Melinda Snodgrass and Gregory Noveck. They know and love the Wild Cards universe almost as well as I do, and I think they will do a terrific job. Wish them luck."

There's still no set premiere date, but you can read all of George's thoughts here.
