George RR Martin Hopes Game Of Thrones Can Become Like The MCU
George R.R. Martin hopes Game of Thrones can become a franchise similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The author began his acclaimed fantasy book series with Game of Thrones in 1996. In 2011, the as-of-yet unfinishedA Song of Ice and Fire series was adapted for television by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO and became a worldwide sensation until its completion in 2019. Although the final season of Game of Thrones ended with controversy, Martin and HBO still wanted to capitalize on the show's immense success and began developing multiple spinoff projects.
The studio is developing four live-action Game of Thrones spinoff shows, including a sequel about Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), a Tales of Dunk and Egg series based on Martin's novellas, and a series about the nine voyages of the Sea Snake written by Gotham scribe Bruno Heller. The prequel series, House of the Dragon, is set to release in August and will chronicle the events of the House Targaryen leading up to the familial civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons. Martin and HBO also have three animated projects currently in the works; however, details have been kept relatively under wraps.
