TheGame of Thronesfranchise is expanding in a big way. Franchise creator George R.R. Martin, who’s no stranger to interacting with fans, was recently heard speaking about severalGame of Thronesspin-offs that are currently in development.
According to@westerosorg on X/Twitter, Martin mentionedsevenGame of Thronesprojects currently in developmentwhile speaking at the Oxford Writers' House. Of the seven projects, four are animated, and three are live-action. It’s currently unknown what these projects are, officially, but there have been some hints about what’s currently in development.
Game Of Thrones
Four projects are currently known to be in development, includingTen Thousand Ships, a story about the Rhoynar landing in Dorne. Another project that’s been mentioned in the past isa show about Aegon the Conqueror, the first Targaryen king. There’s also been chatter about a story set in the Golden Empire of Yi Ti and a story centered around Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) and his legendary voyages. While originally it seemed that some of the many planned projects had been shelved, this latest update suggests that the success of House of the Dragon has brought some of these back to the table.
Game of Thrones' Current Spin-Offs
Martin specifically excludedHouse of the Dragonfrom his list; considering the show already has two seasons under its belt, calling it ‘in development’ might be a bit of a stretch.House of the Dragon’s sophomore season hasreceived praise from Martin, particularly for its spectacular dragon battle, but he’s also gone on record discussing his dissatisfaction with adaptational changes.
House of the Dragon Season 2 Finale Has Already Been Seen by Thousands of Fans
With just a couple of days until House of the Dragon ends its second season, there’s been a leak of the last episode on social media.
It’sunknown if Martin was countingA Knight of the Seven Kingdomsin the list. The series is set to debut next year and is currently filming.A Knight of the Seven Kingdomsfollows a hedge knight known as Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), a giant-of-a-man who takes on young Aegon Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell), who’s somewhere around sixteenth in line for the throne, as his squire. Viewers will get a fresh, new look at a functioning Westeros as the two wander in their travels. IfA Knight of the Seven Kingdomsis, in fact, included in Martin’s list of spin-offs, that leaves two live-action spin-offs unaccounted for.
There’salso the possibility that HBO is developing formerly canceled projects. A pilot known asBloodmoon, set during the first Long Night, was rejected just a few years ago. While it’s unlikely that anything that was filmed forBloodmoonwill make it forward, its central premise is interesting enough to hold some potential. Additionally, there’s also a slim chance that Kit Harington’s Jon Snow project could come back into contention. That series was expected to function as aGame of Thronessequel. While rumors have swirled aroundSnowfor years now, the most recent updates suggested that it would not be moving ahead. However, things change, and with so many projects seemingly being discussed, it is hard to rule anything out.
