After the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones airs, HBO does not want to simply leave the world of Westeros behind. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cable giant is in development on FOUR (4!) potential Game of Thrones spin-offs with four different writers as well as creator George R.R. Martin. Current showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff will serve as executive producers on any of the four that HBO decides to greenlight.

George R.R. Martin Talks Game of Thrones Spin-Offs, Confirms They’re Prequels

"Every one of the concepts under discussion is a prequel, rather than a sequel. Some may not even be set on Westeros. Rather than ‘spinoff’ or ‘prequel,’ however, I prefer the term ‘successor show.’ That’s what I’ve been calling them.”

Maybe its just me... but I'm not sure I want these...

I just want the 1 complete GoT story.This feels like overload!
Maybe in the right hands, it could be good (things like Better Call Saul come to mind)...

But right now, I'm worried they are just trying to cash in on the popularity of it.

Game of Thrones Prequel Pilot Greenlit at HBO!
Source: ComingSoon

The big-budgeted spinoff is created by Goldman and Martin and written by Goldman based on a story by her and Martin, the untitled pilot takes the prequel concept to a new level as it is set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones. The series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know.

Goldman is serving as showrunner and will executive produce alongside Martin as well as fellow Game of Thrones executive producer Vince Gerardis and co-creator/executive producer Daniel Zelman (Damages, Bloodline).

The untitled project from Martin and Goldman is one of five Game of Thrones prequels HBO had put in development, signing deals with five writers to join Marin in the development and writing of five spinoffs of the blockbuster fantasy series that don’t feature Game of Thrones characters. The other four writers are Max Borenstein, Brian Helgeland, Cary Wray, and Bryan Cogman. The other scripts have yet to be greenlit, but there doesn’t appear to be any rush or pressure to do so right away.
