HBO Is Considering Up To Four Separate ‘Game Of Thrones’ Spinoffs
Hot Pie needs his own cooking show.
HBO is milking that Westerosi cash cow for every last drop, with the cable network reportedly weighing up options for four different Game of Thrones spinoffs.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, executives at HBO have hired four writers to develop four potential offshoots, which could be prequels, sequels or spinoffs. It has previously been speculated that the network might pursue a prequel series set during the days of Robert Baratheon’s rebellion. There’s also the possibility of a rom-com starring Brienne and Tormund, which isn’t an idea HBO is actually considering so much as it is a fan script I’m currently working on.
Cooking with Hot Pie also seems like a no brainer.
It’s unclear which of the projects, if any, will make it to production, with HBO programming president Casey Bloys telling THR last September that “it’s about finding the right take with the right writer.” George R. R. Martin will apparently collaborate on a number of the scripts, because it’s not like he’s got anything more pressing he should be working on.
There are still two more seasons of Game of Thrones to go, with season seven set to premiere on July 16.
