The Recreation of Thrones franchise has seen two profitable spinoffs of the unique landmark fantasy tv present: Home of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the latter of which solely premiered this month. The Hollywood Reporter just lately reported on two extra spinoffs in improvement, one a sequel to Recreation of Thrones and one other a prequel.
Nonetheless, in a brand new interview with Deadline, Chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content material Casey Bloys says that nothing is about in stone, regardless of these main updates. “Typically, due to the extraordinary curiosity in improvement,” says Bloys, “I feel folks get confused and consider that improvement means one thing is definitely in manufacturing.“
That’s, the rumored sequence — one would observe Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) after the occasions of Recreation of Thrones with author Quoc Dang Tran connected; the opposite can be the long-rumored Aegon’s Conquest prequel about King Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros — aren’t underway. Creatives are solely creating concepts that could possibly be chosen for manufacturing in a while.
“So I simply wish to be clear about that we have been very, very even handed about reveals that we produce,” continues Bloys. “We’ll develop lots as a result of we wish to give ourselves the very best likelihood of discovering a present that is sensible, however now we have not produced all that a lot.” Notably, it was reported that Aegon’s Conquest is being developed as each a TV sequence and a Dune-equivalent film occasion.
Theoretically, HBO or Warner Bros. will transfer ahead with one adaptation of Aegon I’s story someday sooner or later. Bloys concludes: “This isn’t Marvel degree, 4 seasons a 12 months, or something like that. So generally folks confuse improvement hypothesis with precise reveals being produced.“ Bloys additionally emphasised that “there have been precisely two spinoffs,” which is since Recreation of Thrones ended seven years in the past.
HBO has additionally deserted Recreation of Thrones-related concepts that they felt simply weren’t understanding. The THR story revealed extra particulars concerning the canceled Jon Snow (Package Harington) sequel sequence, which advanced into the thought of specializing in Arya as a substitute. A pilot for one more prequel, titled Bloodmoon, was even solid (with some main stars) and filmed, however canceled earlier than it ever aired.
Thus, whereas it’s nonetheless very potential that extra Recreation of Thrones tasks will come to fruition, the method could also be lengthy, for just a few, high-quality productions to ever make it to screens. In the meantime, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has grow to be a success, whereas Home of the Dragon season 3 is very anticipated. Each sequence, usually, have been favorably reviewed by critics and audiences.
George R. R. Martin’s A Music of Ice and Fireplace lore is expansive, and HBO is profiting from alternatives to proceed the franchise. For example, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was renewed for season 2 earlier than the present even premiered, and so they, it appears, are nonetheless discussing extra concepts.
