Aside from the above two, HBO has been considering more potential spin-offs. ''House of the Dragon'' was originally pitched alongside four other projects: ''Bloodmoon'' (about the Long Night), ''Flea Bottom'' (about the poorest sector of King's Landing), ''10,000 Ships'' (about Princess Nymeria's migration to Dorne), and ''9 Voyages'' (about the travels of Corlys Velaryon). ''Bloodmoon'' was actually greenlit before ''House of the Dragon'' was, and managed to reach the pilot stage before HBO decided not to move forward with it, while ''Flea Bottom'' was discarded before it received a pilot order. In June 2022, Creator/KitHarington, who played Jon Snow, revealed that HBO is considering a sequel series revolving around his character. Following the success of the first season of ''House of the Dragon'', a prequel focusing on Aegon the Conqueror is reportedly in early stages of development as of April 2023. Finally, there are three adult animated series in development for Creator/HBOMax, one of which will focus on the East Asian-like Golden Empire of Yi Ti.

''Game of Thrones'' is an 8-season {{Creator/HBO}} series based on Creator/GeorgeRRMartin's [[{{Doorstopper}} epic]] {{fantasy}} series ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', which Martin began publishing in 1996. It started in April 2011 and wrapped up in May 2019. It was aired as a SundayEveningDramaSeries.

Set in a medieval fantasy world, on the continents of Westeros and Essos, the series tells a story of the various political and supernatural threats to the peace of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros: a vast monarchy that is still recovering from a recent civil war which overthrew the ruling Targaryen dynasty. When the right-hand to the king dies under suspicious circumstances, House Stark - a noble house that rules the frigid and sparsely-populated Kingdom of the North - is drawn to the capital city of King's Landing, where a web of rival nobles scheme and maneuver to seize and retain power over the realm.

As the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms busy themselves with political games, far to the north, beyond a Wall sparsely guarded by an ignored and underfunded order of pariahs-turned-soldiers, a supernatural threat is building that - left unchecked - threatens to burst forth and destroy all life upon the Seven Kingdoms entirely.

In May 2017, two months before Season 7 aired, HBO announced that they were considering five different pitches for ''Game of Thrones'' prequels: ''Bloodmoon'' (about the Long Night), ''House of the Dragon'' (about the history of House Targaryen), ''Flea Bottom'' (about the poorest sector of King's Landing), ''10,000 Ships'' (about Princess Nymeria's migration to Dorne), and ''9 Voyages'' (about the travels of Corlys Velaryon). A pilot for ''Bloodmoon'' was shot, but HBO opted not to greenlight it to series, while ''Flea Bottom'' never even reached the pilot stage before it was dropped. ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'', however, did get picked up, with Creator/RyanCondal as showrunner and heavy involvement from Martin himself, and began airing in August 2022. The fates of ''10,000 Ships'' and ''9 Voyages'' are currently uncertain.

Other than those five, HBO is also developing at least five additional spin-offs, including an adaptation of ''Literature/TalesOfDunkAndEgg'', a Jon Snow-centric sequel series (which was pitched by Creator/KitHarington and will star him should it get picked up), and three adult animated series for Creator/HBOMax, one of which will focus on the East Asian-like Golden Empire of Yi Ti.
