HBO has big plans for Game of Thrones, with three new spinoff series in development at the premium network.
According to Deadline, the three series are tentatively titled Sea Snake, Flea Bottom and 10,000 Ships. Of the three, Sea Snake is furthest along in the development process, with Bruno Heller (Gotham, Rome) attached to the creative team. Flea Bottom and 10,000 Ships are in the earlier stages and do not have any writers attached.
Sea Snake is said to focus on the explorer Corlys Velaryon, who sailed everywhere from Dragonstone and Lys to the mysterious lands of Yi Ti and Leng. He eventually traveled North in search of a passage that would take him around the top of Westeros, but only found frozen seas and gigantic icebergs.
Flea Bottom will showcase the poorest areas of King's Landing, the capital of Westeros. Game of Thrones viewers were exposed to the area in the series through the earlier storylines of Arya Stark and King Robert Baratheon's bastard son Gendry.
10,000 Ships will follow the warrior Princess Nymeria and the surviving members of the Rhoynar people as they flee Essos for Dorne following their defeat at the hands of the Valyrians. Nymeria eventually married Mors Martell of House Martell, the rules of Dorne in Game of Thrones.
Other Game of Thrones spinoff series in development include Tales of Dunk and Egg, which takes place 90 years before the events of the main series and chronicles the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and a young Aegon V Targaryen (Egg), and an adult animated series.
Meanwhile, HBO is set to begin filming its first Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, in April. Ordered in Oct. 2019, the series is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, a compilation of stories and historical records related to House Targaryen. The drama received a straight-to-series order and will consist of 10 episodes. Characters set to appear include King Viserys Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Created by George R.R. Martin, Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal, House of the Dragonstars Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy. The series is expected to premiere on HBO and HBO Max in 2022.
