Every Game of Thrones Spinoff and Prequel in Development

9 Voyages

In the hands of Rome and Gotham creator Bruno Heller, “9 Voyages” would follow Lord Corlys Velaryon, a.k.a, The Sea Snake a.k.a. the Lord of the Tides and head of House Velaryon. Velaryon is set to appear in House of the Dragon, portrayed by British actor Steve Toussaint, and the theory must be that Velaryon will be a breakout character necessitating his own series. Deadline reports that this is the most “fully formed” Thrones project besides House of the Dragon and Tales of Dunk and Egg.

Here’s a quote about Corlys, from the writings found in Westeros’ citadel: “Seventy-nine years of age, he had served four kings and a queen, sailed to the ends of the earth, raised House Velaryon to unprecedented levels of wealth and power, married a princess who might have been a queen, fathered dragonriders, built towns and fleets, proved his valor in times of war and his wisdom in times of peace. The Seven Kingdoms would never see his like again.”

Sounds like quite the guy.

Flea Bottom

Much like the planned HBO Max spinoff of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, Gotham PD, a Flea Bottom series would aim to capture the lives and stories of the common people living in King’s Landing’s poorest district. Though we’ve met former Flea Bottom citizens like Davos Seaworth and Gendry, we haven’t spent much time on those dirty, gritty streets. A Flea Bottom series could be the tonal shift that the Game of Thrones universe needs to re-energize itself and move away from some of the more fantastical elements of the series.

Untitled Animated Series

There are no details, subject matter, or even animation style in place for this pitched foray into the world of animation, but the medium does have a ton of potential to go bigger and farther with the Game of Thrones property than ever before. Whether the episodes take an anthology format detailing individual Westerosi history lessons or the series takes on a huge, winding plot, Martin has published enough backstories and world history to populate Game of Thrones entertainment for a long time. Indeed, throughout the original series run, HBO was fond of running animated explainer clips along with episodes. So there is a precedent for animated Westerosi history.

Abandoned – The Long Night

The first Game of Thrones spinoff to be announced, it was something of a shock when HBO announced that “The Long Night” (“Bloodmoon” was another working title) would not be moving forward. Set in the Age of Heroes, thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, The Long Night was to come from writer Jane Goldman with Naomi Watts set to star.
