Game of Thrones developing THIRD spin-off series with HBO – but with a major twist
GAME of Thrones is developing a THIRD spin-off series with HBO - but with a major twist.
The original HBO series came to an end in May 2019 after eight seasons but a number of spin-off shows are in the works.
As well as prequel series House of the Dragon, The Hollywood Reporter now claims an animated show is in the works at HBO Max.
The publication reports meetings with writers are underway and the spin-off is thought to have a similar tone to the original show.
However, the project is yet to be officially confirmed.
The reports come a month after the House of the Dragon prequel series was announced.
Former Doctor Who star Matt Smith will play unpredictable Prince Daemon Targaryen in the show, which is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Matt joined the cast along with Bates Motel actress Olivia Cooke and Truthseekers' Emma D'Arcy.
Olivia will play Alicent Hightower, the daughter of the Hand of the King.
Meanwhile Emma, 28, will star as fierce dragonrider Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, the eldest child of the king.
