Tre Mac Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 http://ew.com/tv/2017/05/04/game-of-thrones-prequels-spinoffs/ Quote HBO is doubling down — no, quadrupling down — on its epic quest to replace Game of Thrones. The pay TV network is determined to find a way to continue the most popular series in the company’s history and has taken the highly unusual step of developing four different ideas from different writers. The move represents a potentially massive expansion of the popular fantasy universe created by author George R.R. Martin. If greenlit, the eventual show or shows would also mark the first time HBO has ever made a follow-up series to one of its hits. Most of the assigned writers have experience writing major theatrical films, and Martin is personally involved in two of the projects. The show ideas are from Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Fox’s Minority Report); Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service, X-Men: First Class) along with Martin; Brian Helgeland (A Knight’s Tale, L.A. Confidential); and Carly Wray (Mad Men) with Martin. HBO isn’t revealing any story details at this time other than that the shows “explore different time periods of George R. R. Martin’s vast and rich universe.” Quote Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have previously said they do not plan to be actively involved in any follow-up projects, but it turns out they will be attached to the new shows as executive producers. “Weiss and Benioff continue to work on finishing up the seventh season and are already in the midst of writing and preparing for the eighth and final season,” HBO said in a statement. “We have kept them up to date on our plans and they will be attached, along with George R. R. Martin, as executive producers on all projects. We will support them as they take a much-deserved break from writing about Westeros once the final season is complete.” Quote The prequel or spinoff development battle royale is a bit like how Disney handles their Marvel and Star Wars brands rather than how a TV network tends to deal with a retiring series (Thrones is expected to conclude with its eighth-and-final season next year.) But GoT is no ordinary show — it’s an international blockbuster that delivers major revenue for HBO via subscriptions (last season averaged 23.3 million viewers in the U.S. alone), home video and merchandise licensing. Plus, there’s all those Emmys to consider (GoT set records for the most Emmys ever won in the prime-time ceremony). How much of HBO’s Thrones development slate will actually end up on the screen is unknown. It’s possible one or more titles could be produced as a miniseries instead of a regular series. We’re told a variety of different combinations and options are on the table depending on how the scripts look upon completion. But the end goal is to find at least one title that can successfully carry the flame of the GoT franchise. “There is no set timetable for these projects,” HBO said. “We’ll take as much or as little time as the writers need and, as with all our development, we will evaluate what we have when the scripts are in.” Follow @jameshibberd for breaking GoT news, subscribe to our GoT email newsletter.

I think he keeps taking on projects because he doesn't know how to finish the books. So many theories on how everything will play out, some of them have probably guessed right. Trying to surprise people, at this stage, can't be easy when everyone is looking for the unexpected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every couple of months, or so, someone comes out to say it will be released soon. Only to have GRRM shoot it down, the next time he's interviewed.

As someone who got in on the ground floor with the books, (I bought GoT and CoK and the had to wait for SoS and FfC) I honestly thought that Martin had shuffled off his mortal coil. I remember scouring bookstores everywhere I went for ADWD and asking clerks who had no idea what I was talking about. (The series wasn't even on anyone's radar back then) When I finally did discover ADWD, it was in hardcover only and remained so for 2 years. (The standard is 1 year, before being released in paperback) I ended up re-buying the original 4 books (since I had no idea where the one I previously purchased were) and re-reading the series, before buying ADWD. Needless to say, I was not at all surprised at how long WoW is taking. It's par for the course with George. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think it's very likely that we don't see TWoW until after the TV series is over. I'm pretty sure he's really struggling to set up the perfect ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dream of Spring is currently expected to be the last in the series, but Martin has said that there may be another. He won't be tied to an "arbitrary number of volumes". Personally, I hope there are others. However many it takes to see it done right... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that what he writes in TWoW will directly setup the ending in ADoS and I'm imagining him having a hard time bringing the numerous plotlines to a grand conclusion he's happy with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
