HBO has announced that they will be developing four different spinoffs of Games of Thrones. They have not shared many details of what those spinoffs will entail, except that they will “explore different time periods of George R. R. Martin’s vast and rich universe.”
The different writers assigned to the projects are Max Borenstein (of Kong: Skull Island, Fox’s Minority Report); Brian Helgeland (of A Knight’s Tale, L.A. Confidential); Carly Wray (of Mad Men), and Jane Goldman (of Kingsman: The Secret Service, X-Men: First Class.) The latter two will both be working alongside George Martin.
The current showrunners will be executive producers on the new shows instead of showrunning. HBO released a statement about the news.
“Weiss and Benioff continue to work on finishing up the seventh season and are already in the midst of writing and preparing for the eighth and final season. We have kept them up to date on our plans and they will be attached, along with George R. R. Martin, as executive producers on all projects. We will support them as they take a much-deserved break from writing about Westeros once the final season is complete.”
