I think the real issue was that they got out in front of GRRM, at which point the show was essentially mediocre fan fiction.
GRRM's novels will deal with the same undead hoard, but I highly doubt they will read like 'just another zombie book'. That's what separates legendary artists from the nameless commercial hacks--the ability to take something that has been done to death and make it feel fresh and exciting.
