Author George R. R. Martin recently announced that more Game of Thrones spinoffs are currently in development. The popular HBO fantasy series, which was based on Martin's novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, ended in 2019 after eight seasons. However, it has already spawned the prequel House of the Dragon, which has been renewed for a second season, and the upcoming spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, based on Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas.

According to IGN, Martin made an appearance on a recent episode of BANGCAST, where he discussed the future of Game of Thrones.

In the conversation, he revealed that there are currently "like eight other spin-off shows" being developed. While The Hedge Knight is the only spinoff that has officially received the green light, Martin assured fans that progress is being made on the other projects, stating, "we're still working on them."

In his statement, Martin did not specify which Game of Thrones spinoffs he was referring to. Over the years since the show concluded, several spinoffs have been teased or rumored. These include a Jon Snow spinoff following the character portrayed by Kit Harington, an animated spinoff titled The Golden Empire, and The Sea Snake, which would focus on Steve Toussaint's House of the Dragon character, Corlys Velaryon.

Corlys Velaryon embarked on the Great Voyages, exploring the vast world of Game of Thrones.

It is uncertain whether any of the shows mentioned by Martin are previously rejected ideas. HBO had previously passed on spinoffs such as Bloodmoon, which explored the first Long Night and was scrapped after the pilot stage, Flea Bottom, set in the infamous slum of the same name, and Doom of Valyria, delving into the history of Old Valyria before its destruction in a volcanic eruption. While these shows had been rejected in their initial forms, both House of the Dragon and The Hedge Knight were also previously passed on, indicating that any of the rejected ideas could potentially resurface in new forms.

The fate of these spinoff shows is still unknown. HBO risks saturating the market if it approves all of them, especially considering the significant production costs involved. However, even if only one or two of these spinoffs ultimately make it to air, it is clear that the Game of Thrones universe is still thriving and will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
