We all know that Game of Thrones is left with only two more years before the saga comes to a close, but fear not… the future of George RR Martin’s world is a bright one, indeed.
It has been announced by HBO that not one, not two, not three but four spin-off series are currently in the works.
Four!?
And there’s some real talent involved in them.
While HBO would not say if the shows were sequels, prequel or would run alongside the existing series, it did reveal who were going to be involved with making the shows a reality and that they would “explore different time periods of George R. R. Martin’s vast and rich universe”.
Game of Thrones TV creators/executive producers Dan Weiss and David Benioff will not be involved in the writing of the shows but they will continue to act as executive producers.
As it is, the shows have writers in place including:
Max Borenstein (Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island)
Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsman and X-Men franchises), George R. R. Martin
Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, A Knights Tale)
Carly Wray (HBO’s The Leftovers & Westword, AMC’s Mad Man), George R. R. Martin
The shows are all in development but there is no plan as to when we will see them. although we would imagine we’ll not see anything until Game of Thrones wraps next year.
Excited? Well, you should be…
