George R.R. Martin Says HBO Has Five or Six ‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoffs in Development, Including Sequels

His update underscores HBO's focus on prequels now, with any continuations likely years off.

Overview

  • Speaking at the Iceland Noir convention, Martin said there are "five or six" spinoff projects in development at HBO, noting most are prequels but that some are sequels, with no sequel ordered to series.
  • The previously discussed Jon Snow follow-up is canceled or stalled, with no sign it is moving forward.
  • HBO has officially renewed House of the Dragon for Season 4, with Season 3 expected next summer, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight premieres January 18, 2026 and already has a Season 2.
  • Outlets report any sequel, if greenlit, would likely not arrive before 2028–2029, and current chatter about characters like Arya or time-jump concepts remains speculative.
  • Following last week’s spinoff updates, Game of Thrones climbed back into HBO Max’s top 10 in several countries.
