George R.R. Martin has finally shared news about the expansion of the Game of Thrones universe before the second season of House of the Dragon makes its way to HBO in 2024.

Game of Thrones has been one of the most critically-acclaimed shows of all time and won several accolades. Moreover, it received a lot of love from the viewers. So, it didn’t come as a shock when HBO announced that it was planning to take the franchise to a whole new level. In 2022, House of the Dragon became the first project in the expanded universe and more titles were on its way. Almost a year later, GoT author shared an update on the potential spin-offs and noted that a few animated projects are already in the planning stages.

On New Year's Eve, Martin mentioned on his personal blog that he's working on several animated projects based on his Song of Ice & Fire books. He said they haven't been officially approved yet, and HBO decided not to move forward with two out of the four planned spinoffs. Despite the setbacks, Martin is hopeful that the remaining animated spin-offs will soon get the green light to proceed. Martin wrote, “As it happens, HBO and I have our own animated projects, set in the world of A SONG OF ICE & FIRE. None of them have been greenlit yet, but I think we are getting close to taking the next step with a couple of them. When this last round of development started a few years back, we had four ideas for animated shows, with some great talents attached. Writers rooms and summits, outline and scripts followed in due course… but, alas, two of the original projects were subsequently shelved. Work on the other two animated projects continues apace, however.”

On the other hand, the author mentioned that the Nine Voyages series is now being created as an animated series instead of a live-action project. He added, “Meanwhile, we have moved NINE VOYAGES, our series about the legendary voyages of the Sea Snake, over from live-action to animation. A move I support fully.” Apart from Nine Voyage s, HBO has already confirmed that the next Thrones spinoff will be called A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. It will tell the story of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, a hundred years before the original eight-season saga. Even though HBO is thinking of diversifying the Game of Thrones world, it is uncertain if these projects will ever see the light. For the uninitiated, a live-action spinoff had a pilot filmed but got canceled. This might make Martin more careful about new spin-offs. If Season 2 of House of the Dragon does well, it could boost the chances of other planned spin-offs, like one about Jon Snow, becoming reality.

The much-awaited second season of House of the Dragon will be premiering on HBO in the summer of 2024 and will see different factions of House Targaryen fighting against each other. Fans are expecting Season 2 to be bigger than the previous one and can’t wait to see their favorite characters back on the screen.

All seasons of Game of Thrones and Season 1 of House of the Dragon are currently streaming on Max.
