Last week ’s tidings of Jane Goldman’sGame of Thrones prequel pilotmay not be the end of HBO ’s spinoff plans . Of course , we’veknown for some timethat HBO was consideringfive possible prequelsto extend , and expand , the Game of Thrones universe — but we still have no estimation just how many will pan out . Goldman ’s show getting a archetype suggests four remain , and onhis web log , A Song of Ice and Fire Godhead George R.R. Martin provided an update on the rest .
Martin said that one of the ideas has been rejected — but that the three that remain could still happen , even though Goldman ’s is move out front first .
“ Three more Game of Thrones prequels , set in dissimilar menstruation and featuring dissimilar character and storyline , remain in alive development , ” the author write . “ Everything I am say indicate that we could film at least one more pilot , and peradventure more than one , in the years to issue forth . We do have an entire world and tens of thousands of geezerhood of story to recreate with , after all . But this is tv , so nothing is certain . ”
Martin enjoin he ’s been consulting with most of the people involved with those shows and some have even arrive to visit him to discuss the approximation . However , he says he wo n’t be write on any of them because he ’s still lick onthe next book in the series , The Winds of Winter .
“ figure out on Winds of Winter continues , and remains my top precedency , ” Martin continued . “ It is ridiculous to opine otherwise . If I was n’t in use with Winds , do n’t you suppose I ’d be script one or more of these pilots myself ? It ’s not as if I ’ve never spell for TV … ”
The writer was working on a Thrones project with manufacturer / writer Bryan Cogman previously . Could this meanthe thought that was scrapped was his ?
As for the title of the Goldman show , which is set generations before the original series , Martin has a suggestion , though he does n’t think it ’ll come to fruition . “ My vote would be The Long Night , ” he say . “ Which says it all , but I ’d be surprised if that ’s where we end up . More probable HBO will need to work the idiomatic expression ‘ Game of Thrones ’ in there somewhere . ”
Theeighth and terminal seasonof Game of Thrones will air in 2019 .
