“House of the Dragon” was very successful as the first spin-off of the acclaimed HBO series “Game of Thrones”. But there are other “GoT” spin-offs in development, in addition to the rumors of many others.
And here’s a spoiler of the text below: it’s not just a series in the “Game of Thrones” universe in development. Several spin-offs have already had a confirmed development, although most still don’t have clearance from HBO to start production.
With a series that has been one of the biggest hits in television history, breaking audience records and now accompanied by the initial success of the first spin-off that took off, it’s conceivable that HBO wants to invest in new series in this universe. .
Of course, not everything that starts development arrives on screens, but what we know here gives us an idea of what we can expect for the future of the “GoT” universe.

In addition to “House of the Dragon,” it has already been confirmed that HBO is developing a sequel focusing on Kit Harington’s character, Jon Snow. Author George RR Martin has confirmed that the studio is working on the “Snow” title for the spin-off and that production will take place after the events of “Game of Thrones,” an idea by Harington himself.
The actor will return to play his character, Jon Snow, in this sequel, which is still in the early stages. Should it take off, “Snow” would be the first sequel to the original series, with the other spin-offs taking place before the events of “Game of Thrones”.
The sea snake
In March 2021, it was revealed that HBO would be developing other “Game of Thrones” spinoffs, including “The Sea Snake”, which was once called “Nine Voyages”. The series was in the most advanced development, according to information at the time.
According to Martin, the change in the series name was due to the production title below, as HBO wanted to avoid two series in this universe that had numbers in the titles: “Nine Voyages” means “Nine Voyages”, while the translation from “Ten Thousand ships “is” Ten thousand ships “.
This series will focus on another famous character, this time one who appeared in “House of the Dragon”: Corlys Velaryon, the sea snake, played by Steve Toussaint. It remains to be seen whether Toussaint will play the character in “The Sea Snake,” or whether the series will follow a younger version of the greatest sailor in the history of the Seven Kingdoms.
Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”), who is reportedly pitching various ideas at HBO for the “Game of Thrones” spinoffs, including a prequel based on Robert’s Rebellion, was responsible for writing the series pilot.
Ten thousand ships
Another project under development at HBO is the oldest in the “Game of Thrones” universe timeline. Set about a thousand years before the original series, the spin-off would follow Princess Nymeria, ancestor of House Martell who founded Dorne.
Nymeria is one of the most iconic figures in Westeros history, with characters like Arya (Maisie Williams) idealizing her, including the name of her direwolf after her. According to Martin, the title of the prequel at the moment is “Ten Thousand Ships”.
The name is a reference to the military maneuver in which Nymeria burned down the entire fleet after her army traveled from Essos to Dorne. The target. the goal? Making the return is not an option. Martin also revealed that Amanda Segel is the showrunner for the series and that she has previously presented drafts of the series’ scripts.
The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
HBO will also develop a series based on George RR Martin’s book “The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” about the knight Ser Duncan the Tall (or Dunk) and his squire Egg.
This prequel takes place between “House of the Dragon” and “Game of Thrones”, and is under the direction of Steve Conrad. “He’s determined to make a faithful adaptation of the stories, which is exactly what I want; these characters and these stories are very precious to me, “Martin said on his blog.” The first season will be an adaptation of the first story, The Riding Knight. “
“Contrary to what you may have read online, the series will not be called Dunk & Egg, which could be mistaken for a comedy by viewers unfamiliar with the stories,” explained Martin. HBO is currently working on the title “The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”, with “The Walking Knight” also under consideration.
Voice: Bass flea
An unconfirmed series that would be in development would be the one set in the Baixada das Pulgas, according to rumors about the “GoT” spin-off. The place is located on the outskirts of King’s Landing, where the poorest residents of the capital of Westeros reside. There is no further information revealed about this possible series.
Robert’s Rebellion Series
There are no rumors or confirmations that a series on the events that led Robert Baratheon to the Iron Throne is in development. However, as previously mentioned in the topic “The Sea Snake”, Bruno Heller, series director on Corlys Velaryon, gave HBO the idea of creating a series about this event that happened a few decades before “Game of Thrones”. . .
So, you can’t completely rule out that a series about Robert’s rebellion might happen in the future.
animated series
“I’m not allowed to talk about most of what’s going on, except to say things are moving too fast, and I love, love, love some of the concept art I’m seeing,” said George RR Martin on his blog. on “The Golden Empire” (The Golden Empire, in free translation), future animated series of “GoT”.
“News leaked several months ago that one of the animated series would be set in Yi Ti. That’s right. Our working title is” The Golden Empire “, and we also have a great young writer, and I think the art and the animation will be beautiful. I’d say more if I could. I don’t think I can say a word about the other animated series. Not yet. “
Red Moon
Among the potential “Game of Thrones” spin-offs, one series that we already know is not going to take off is “Bloodmoon”. The series would take place during the period known as “The Long Night”, which took place about eight thousand years before “Game of Thrones”.
The development of the series was complicated, after all George RR Martin wrote only a few sentences in all of his work on the period. The author himself admitted developmental difficulties. “The Blood Moon was a very difficult task. We are dealing with much more primitive people. There are no dragons yet, “Martin explained.
Jane Goldman, the showrunner of the series, insisted and HBO created a pilot episode that cost $ 30 million, one of the most expensive ever created in history. Naomi Watts starred in the episode, which revolved around a wedding, which involved a member of a Southern House and a Northern House.
However, despite the amount spent, HBO canceled the project in 2019 and the pilot project was “stuck” on the studio’s servers, without even George RR Martin being able to watch.
