All 7 Game Of Thrones Shows In Development Explained
Game of Thrones may have ended in 2019, but that wasn't the last audiences have seen of Westeros, as HBO has at least seven spinoffs in development. Based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series, Game of Thrones became the biggest TV show in the world across its eight-season run in the 2010s, so it's no surprise that the network is looking to expand on the IP. Game of Thrones season 8 proved extremely divisive, but the world nonetheless remains one filled with potential for the small screen.
HBO has been developing Game of Thrones spinoffs since May 2017, when a total of five ideas from different writers were being discussed. One of those, from Martin and Jane Goldman, had the production title Bloodmoon and was set to take place during the Age of Heroes, building to The Long Night. While a pilot for the show, which would've starred Naomi Watts, was filmed, the network decided not to move ahead with the series. That, however, wasn't the end of the plans.

As the streaming wars continue, having reliable properties to build on becomes increasingly important. That's why Disney+ has a wealth of Marvel and Star Wars shows planned, and while Game of Thrones' popularity isn't quite on that level — and nor are HBO's plans — it is one of the biggest things it has to offer current or potential subscribers. It isn't just on a corporate level that this makes sense, though, because there are countless stories to be told from the universe Martin has created, thanks to his rich, detailed world-building. It remains to be seen just how many Game of Thrones spinoff shows will ultimately happen, but here is what HBO has planned.
