The show may have ended in 2019, but there is more of Westeros to explore as HBO has several <em>Game of Thrones</em> spinoff shows in development, including the already successful House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Despite the Game of Thrones ending proving extremely divisive, the fictional world nonetheless remains one filled with potential for the screen. It’s therefore no surprise that there is a push for new Game of Thrones shows and movies to expand the franchise.
Luckily, there are countless stories to be told from the universe Martin has created, thanks to his rich, detailed world-building. House of the Dragon is way earlier on the timeline, so it got the ball rolling in this regard. Now, future spinoffs will take viewers even deeper into Westerosi history and beyond.

House Of The Dragon Season 4
After the disappointing Game of Thrones season 8 took the series off the map for a few years, bringing HBO’s popularity back was a tall order. House of the Dragon was the perfect choice to deliver a story in George R.R. Martin’s universe that had similarities to the plot format of Game of Thrones while also exploring something new.
House of the Dragon season 3 carries forward the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, exploring further catastrophic battles and political conflicts. HBO has officially confirmed that season 3 is the penultimate installment of this Game of Thrones spinoff, as the confirmed House of the Dragon season 4 will bring the story’s conclusion. Because new seasons have reliably been released every two years, House of the Dragon season 4 can likely be expected around the summer of 2028.
A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Season 2
Another Game of Thrones prequel show that recently hit the scene is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg stories. These small-scale adventures are of a very different flavor than what we are used to from Game of Thrones, leaning more into quaint and cozy fantasy with only a few added violent thrills.
Season 1, based on the novella The Hedge Knight, premiered on January 18, 2026, and was a significant success for HBO. The installment holds an impressive 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, so confirmation for a second installment came rather easily. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 will be based on Martin’s The Sworn Sword, and production is already underway with an expected premiere as soon as 2027.
Game Of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest
The name “Aegon” carries a lot of weight through multiple eras of Game of Thrones due to the legacy of Aegon the Conqueror, the Targaryen who arrived from Valyria and conquered Westeros on dragonback. Since spinoffs became a possibility, this conquest 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones has been a commonly requested arc. It’s therefore fitting that this story will serve as the franchise’s very first film installment.
Warner Bros. officially announced Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest at CinemaCon in 2026. Though various creatives were previously attached to the project, the role of writer has now fallen to House of Cards‘ Beau Willimon. Currently, there’s no word on an official release date. We can surely expect this to be a high-budget theatrical event, so the premiere will surely come no sooner than 2028.
The Golden Empire
An adult animated Game of Thrones</b spinoff has been in early development since January 2021. Animated "Histories & Lore DVD and Blu-ray extras detail aspects of history Westeros so Game Thrones already has some basis for shift medium although this show would obviously have far greater scope.
The show’s title refers to Golden Empire Yi Ti located far east Essos which has minimal source material explore aside from World Ice Fire book Golden Empire spinoff hasn’t had many updates since original announcement much work kept secret.

10 ,000 Ships
Another teased Game Thrones spinoff story Princess Nymeria Rhoyne Rhoynar destroyed Valyrian Freehold some years before events Game Thrones leading Nymeria lead people safety freedom It’s said commanded ships sail down river Rhoyne away Essos thus inspiration another spinoff.
