There are two more animated series set in the world of Game of Thrones in development for HBO Max (now three in total), and one of them is expected to focus on a previously unexplored region of Westeros.

THR reports that one of these potential shows will be set in The Golden Empire of Yi Ti in Essos. This location was inspired by Imperial China, and only ever mentioned in passing in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga. No details on the animated spin-off are known at this time.

In related news, HBO has decided not to move forward with one of its live-action prequel shows. Tentatively titled Flea Bottom, the project would have been set in the infamous King’s Landing slum, but sources report that this "was always the most nascent of the ideas that were made public and was never officially confirmed by HBO."

As far as we know, 10,000 Ships, which has screenwriter Amanda Segel on board, and Bruno Heller's 9 Voyages (Sea Snake) are still on track along with Tales of Dunk and Egg.

As of right now, the only Game of Thrones spinoff that's guaranteed to air is House of The Dragon, which has been given an official 2022 premiere date.

@MutantEquality - I'm guessing it's Dany's wedding night with Khal Drogo from one of the comics.

Yikes. 😵‍💫

That's quite a charged image but I guess it goes along with all the raping and sexual violence in the books & show.

They're really not my cup of tea but to each his own.

Game of Thrones hype died pretty quickly after that terrible final season. These planned prequels are so uninteresting to me now.

The only people who seem interested in these prequels and spin-offs are the execs pushing for them to be developed. I don't know a single person who's interested or even cares about anything regarding this franchise since the final season. Hell the only reason anybody even talks about GOT any more is because of news like this or to say how nobody talks about it anymore.

@RyConn93 - I am super hyped for more GOT content. Anytime I am looking for something new to watch, I think about rewatching GOT again. I didn’t love the final season but overall it’s the best television level content I’ve ever seen.

The people who like to say the hype for the Game of Thrones and Avatar franchises are in for a rude awakening in the next couple of years. Not that they’ll admit to their declarations by then.

TheUnworthyThor - 7/17/2021, 12:34 PM
@EskimoJ - Sure. Mark it down now. But I won’t be. The general public and people who go online and endlessly complain about various media franchises are not the same thing.

@TheUnworthyThor - I totally agree. I am very interested in both. Less so in avatar because I felt like the movie was a one and done, but I loved the world they built and would t mind spending more time there.

The cancelling of the Naomi Watts started show is what really ticked me off. It sounded like such an interesting idea and setting to explore and instead of retooling the show if they didn’t like the pilot they just canceled it.

Definitely lost interest in these. With the Snyder cut they showed they are open to "fixing" some of their wrongs but it probably wasn't profitable enough to redo all of season 8.

If the shows are good I'll check them out after the fact, or just watch Invincible again.

Meh. Honestly they should let this IP die. Not saying George R.R. Martin should stop writing books based in the universe. I mean the tv shows in general.

I watched the entire series and just couldn't understand the hype/fandom of it all.

For me the series was just.... Ok I guess.

They really have to work hard to convince me to return to this saga. Even when it's mostly seperate from Game of Thrones, those last two season left a really bad taste
