GAME OF THRONES Spinoff 10,000 SHIPS Taps HELSTROM Scribe Amanda Segel To Pen The Pilot

Deadline is reporting that HBO has found a writer for their next Game of Thrones spinoff 10,000 Ships, enlisting the services of screenwriter Amanda Segel to pen the pilot episode. 

The potential series would follow the adventures of warrior queen Princess Nymeria and the surviving members of the Rhoynars, who traveled from Essos to Dorne following their defeat by the Valyrian Freehold in the Second Spice War. This migration took place around 1,000 years before the events depicted in the flagship series.

In the acclaimed fantasy drama, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) named her direwolf after Nymeria, and the character was also presumably the namesake of Nymeria Sand (Jessica Henwick). 

Segel's past writing credits include Marvel's HelstromShooterThe MistThe Player,  Person of Interest, NikitaPast LifeThe Good Wife, and Without a Trace

This is one of the three Game of Thrones spinoffs currently in development, along with 9 Voyages (Sea Snake), which has Bruno Heller (Gotham; The Mentalist) attached, and Flea Bottom, which is still searching for a writer. An adaptation of George R.R. Martin's Tales of Dunk & Egg is also said to be in consideration. 

No word on which project could follow House of the Dragon, but regardless, it seems as though HBO is understandably more interested in exploring the past of this vast world than the possibility of developing a Game of Thrones sequel series.

GOT gets 3 spin-offs but Harry Potter gets 1 spin off and it sucks. Unfair

"10,000 Ships" would be the perfect title for a documentary on anime fans.

Can't wait. The death of the Game of Thrones IP has been greatly exaggerated by the internet. House of the Dragon is going to smash it since the source material is great and complete. Nymeria and the Rhoyner origin is also a great backstoey with alot of fascinating lore and mythology. Can't wait.

@kitheka - yeah I don't think it's death either, but I would say it has to work hard to build back up it's main fantasy drama audience again.

There has to be a better title for this right?

Some people on here... Y’all complain that HBO doesn’t have enough original content and isn’t utilizing its IPs, then when they DO start projects with the universes at their disposal, y’all say it’s “too much.”

Anyway, this is a great concept for a series. We haven’t gotten a quality nautical epic since Black Sails, so I’m stoked to see how this plays out. Especially getting to explore the fascinating worlds of Essos and Sothoryos, plus eventually Dorne done right.

Oh, look! A photo in the title from a fantasy fan art that is 100% not related to Game of Thrones!

People crying about these even though Martin is on the board with source material is just sad. Dumb and Dumber never had source material after the books ended and Martin didn't give them shit, only who is Jon's parents.

I jumped on the GOT bandwagon late, and was grateful as it meant I had four seasons to watch at once. It really filled a hole for me I loved it.

As gutted as I am that we'll most likely never see what happens to Arya in the west and Jon doing.... what Jon does, I'm looking forward to what comes of these.
