Previously, it was known that there were multiple Game of Thrones sequel series in development at HBO with the most well-known project being a Jon Snow sequel series that followed his life with The Wildlings on the other side of The Wall.
However, for various reasons, that project stalled out and there's been virtually no further updates since late-2024.
The second proejct was an Arya Stark-focused sequel series that would follow the fearless swordsman on her sailing journey west of Westeros, to explore uncharted territory.
Previously, Arya actress Maise Williams revealed that she would be open to a return to the franchise if the story was right.
Now, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin is fueling a fresh round of rumors and speculation with new comments made at the Iceland Noir convention.
Martin reportedly told fans in attendance that there were, "five or six" spinoff projects in development and that while most were prequels, “there are some sequels.”
This has of course, set the Game of Thrones fandom afire with theories that the Jon Snow series might be back in development or that HBO is finally moving forward with the Arya Stark project.
Another sequel option would be to just pick up exactly where the finale left off, following Bran the Broken as King of the Six Kingdoms and/or Sansa Stark's reign as Queen of the North.
Another option would be to just move the series down the line, maybe 40-50 years, creating a new period where most of the original characters are likely dead but their exploits and adventures are still recent enough to where they haven't been forgotten or turned into folklore.
Currently, House of the Dragon has been renewed for season 4, with a tentative premiere date in 2028. The network is also preparing to launch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, another prequel which is set to premiere on January 18. You can check out the teaser trailer below.
"A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends."
