Very minor update on this.

We know the names of 5 of the first 6 episodes, and the title of Episode 6 seems to suggest that the first 5 episodes would be the entirety of Eye of the World and that Episode 6 would be the beginning of book 2, The Great Hunt. This suggests a 10 episode, two books per season slate, but we honestly have no idea.

The showrunner is also currently in Prague presumably doing location scouting, Prague would make an excellent Caemlyn.

It also came out today that production should begin on September 9.

If they follow the GoT model, then we should see a casting director and casting start in April.

5 hour long episodes is plenty of time - he has an incredibly vivid descriptive style that doesn't need a lot of TV time to convey. Plus the books didn't start getting to 1200 pages till the middle and can be cut down to some degree.

I assume everyone in this thread knows all the spoilers but I'd bet something like

1 - up through winter night
2 - escape over white bridge and into baerleon
3 - shadar logoth and getting separated
4 - journey to Caemlyn, possibly through the ways
5 - the blight / eye of the world
