Brace yourselves, Westeros devotees! The legendary creator himself, George R.R. Martin, is turning up the heat with electrifying news about the future of the Game of Thrones universe! Buckle up as HBO unveils a jaw-dropping, Marvel-style lineup that promises a wildfire of thrilling tales spanning the next three years! Your favorite series, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, are set for multiple upcoming seasons. But wait, there’s more!
Hold onto your dragons, because Martin is cooking up even more tantalizing tales officially marked ‘in development’! He’s teaming up with other powerhouses to craft several prequels and sequels that will take us beyond Game of Thrones’ fiery finale. Speaking at an event hosted by Los Siete Reinos, Martin revealed, ‘Aside from The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, there are other Game of Thrones spinoff projects in development. Most are prequels. There are several in development, five or six series; and I'm not developing them alone, I'm working with other people. Yes, there are some sequels.’ Are you hyped yet?
A quick teaser for the initiated: The current prequels dish up the Targaryen turmoil in House of the Dragon, a saga set two centuries before the main series, and stirring tales of chivalry in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which unfolds around 100 years prior. But that’s just the tip of the ice-castle!
Martin has tossed around other epic spinoff concepts like the saga of Aegon the Conqueror and a tale of warrior queen Nymeria, painting vivid visions of an era 1,000 years past. Even the seafaring adventures of 10,000 Ships might get the winds it deserves! But shhh, the legendary author has dodged the dire spoilers for anything post-Game of Thrones…so far.
Warning! Spoilers ahead! Fans are keeping Westerosi ravens busy hoping for sequels starring surviving favs from the intense finale! The night’s not dark for Jon Snow, as Kit Harington teased a tantalizing return, though plans drift in the shadows for now. Meanwhile, Arya Stark, played by the unstoppable Maisie Williams, could chart new waters! Mr. Martin spilled, ‘We also got together with Maisie Williams for pizza and pasta, and talked about... Well, no, better not get into that, do not want to jinx it. But it could be so much fun.’ We’re on the edge of our thrones!
Keep your crystal balls tuned, as not all shows see the starlit screen. HBO once parted with $30 million for a Naomi Watts-led pilot only to shelve it later.
