We all know that Game of Thrones is coming to an end after eight seasons. But, are they making prequels? It has been reported that there are four possible spin-offs in the works.
These include The Long Night, Bloodmoon, The Doom of Valyria, and Flea Bottom. Each of these titles is based on events or locations in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. As of now, it is unknown if any of these will actually be made into a TV show or movie.
But, we can hope!
After the success of Game of Thrones, it’s no surprise that HBO is considering making prequels. George R.R. Martin, the author of the books the show is based on, has said there are enough stories to fill several more seasons. And with the show’s huge budget and global popularity, it makes sense for HBO to want to keep the franchise going.
There are a few possible directions they could go in with a prequel. One would be to explore the history of Westeros before the events of Game of Thrones. Another would be to focus on one or more of the characters’ backstories, like Robert Baratheon’s rebel against Aerys Targaryen or Ned Stark’s time in service under Jon Arryn.
Or they could even adapt Martin’s other series set in this world, like The Tales of Dunk and Egg.
No matter what direction they go in, it’s sure to be a hit with fans. And with so many possibilities, it’ll be exciting to see what they come up with next for this beloved world.
