Yet anotherGame of Thronesspin-off has entered development. The question is, will it ever see the light of day?
Game of Throneswas pure magic. While the final season may not have pleased everyone, I think we can all agree that it was an absolutely stellar show. The theorising, the post episode dissections … We’re yet to find a successor that matches the hold thatGame of Throneshad over the entertainment industry. Given the success of the series, critically and commercially, spin-offs felt almost guaranteed withHouse of the Dragoneventually hopping onto the scene back in 2022.
Yet to dive intoHouse of the Dragon? You should.
House of the Dragonproved to be an instant success. While it’s got some way to go until it matchesThrones’ audience, the viewing figures were impressive enough that HBO renewed the spin-off for a second season after airing just two episodes - with that second season landing on our screens later this year. It now looks though as if HBO isn’t satisfied with simply having two Westerosian hits on its hands.

With that in mind, this latest spin-off would be the furthest we’ve gone back in Westeros’ timeline. The issue is that HBO does have a habit of announcing these spin-off ideas only for them to get stuck in development.
The Mentalistcreator Bruno Heller was working onThe Sea Snake, Kit Harrington was set to return inSnow,Ten Thousand Shipswould’ve taken us back 1,000 years,A Knight of the Seven Kingdomswould’ve centred around the characters of Dunk and Egg, while the animatedThe Golden Empirewas also in the works.
To state the obvious, none of these ideas are yet to make it as far as filming. Some are believed to have been shelved when HBO Max became simply Max. Others are just still in development. It’ll be interesting to see whether the latest spin-off idea proves to be a tad more successful.
