HBO programming president Casey Bloys says the network is still considering more Game of Thrones spin-off series set in the world created by George R.R. Martin.
Game of Thrones ended a couple of months ago, but HBO is already working on the future of the franchise. HBO is developing many spin-offs, with Jane Goldman’s project moving forward first. That Game of Thrones spin-off recently wrapped filming on its pilot. At the Television Critics Association press tour on Wednesday, HBO’s Casey Bloys revealed to The Wrap that the network is still considering two other spin-off scripts:
“I think we have one or two more scripts. But we’re gonna see what happens with this one.”
Details on the Game of Thrones prequel are still under wraps, though the series is said to be set roughly 5,000 years before the events of George R. R. Martin’s original story.
The pilot for the Game of Thrones prequel will be directed and executive produced by S. J. Clarkson. The series stars Naomi Watts, Josh Whitehouse, Toby Regbo, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Alex Sharp, Miranda Richardson, Marquis Rodriguez, John Simm, Richard McCabe, John Heffernan, and Dixie Egerickx.
