HBO is working on a new ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff with the Targaryens, and ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ has good news
The platform is preparing other additional products, but they still can’t assure that they will go ahead.
There are still many stories to be told in the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe. Francesca Orsi, one of HBO’s top executives, has confirmed to Deadline that the network is working on new spinoffs based on George R.R. Martin’s books. Not that it was not known that more productions were underway, but the head of film and drama series of the Warner Bros. Discovery company has given soft touches and confirmed that this new production will continue with the stories of the Targaryen, the dynasty of ancient Valyria that brought the dragons to Westeros. Moreover, the future of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ looks more than bright.
“We have other spinoffs that we’re working on right now, one of which — which I won’t get into — is very promising, and it is still the Targaryen line,” she said. “There’s a number of other spinoffs, we can’t really guarantee what’s going to go forward, but we are very big budget on the other ones. I would say this is the most intimate one.” She’s referring to ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,’ which has a much smaller budget because of the story itself. As for new series, HBO is known to be preparing one about the conquest of Aegon I Targaryen, although Orsi is said to be talking about another yet-to-be-announced production.
More seasons of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’
Orsi has revealed that ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ will have more seasons: “You’re going to be so impressed by Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell as Dunk and Egg, the two leads, the sort of brotherhood, the paternal nature between Dunk and this young man. So much so that we’re already planning on how do we build this for the three seasons in total. We’re not picking it up officially, but it’s looking very good. We’re looking at it as a holistic piece, Seasons 2 and 3, because there’s three novellas.” Martin plans to publish more adventures, and Orsi hasn’t ruled out continuing Dunk and Egg’s stories: “The role of Egg only spans not even a year, so you have to roll into it season to season pretty quickly, because this little kid will grow up too quickly if we wait too long.”
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ will premiere in 2025. Meanwhile, ‘House of the Dragon’ is about to go into production and the third season will kick off with a big battle.
