Following yesterday’s renewal announcements for House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, author George R.R. Martin confirmed that there are currently five or six more Game of Thrones spin-offs in development at HBO.
This comes over six years after the original show wrapped up its eight-season run. Despite the final season’s negative reception, the acclaimed drama still holds a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average Tomatometer score of 89%.
What is the latest Game of Thrones sequel update?
During a recent interview with Spanish outlet Los Siete Reinos, Martin has opened up about his involvement in the future projects for the Game of Thrones franchise. He revealed that most of the spin-offs in development are prequels, but also assured fans that they’re also working on potential sequels to the original series.
“Aside from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and House of the Dragon, there are other Game of Thrones spin-off projects in development,” Martin said. “Most are prequels. There are several in development, maybe five or six shows. And I’m not developing them alone, I’m working with other people. Yes, there are some sequels.”
Game of Thrones was created by showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. It was based on Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. The ensemble cast included Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Gwendoline Christie, Aidan Gillen, Rory McCann, Richard Madden, Sean Bean, Pedro Pascal, and more. The show was able to win 59 Emmy Awards out of 161 nominations.
