    George Martin binds to HBO for another 5 years, more GoT projects coming

    According to what has emerged in the last few hours, the mind behind Game of Thrones, George Martin, signed a five-year contract with HBO. Based on the series of fantasy novels by the American writer "A Song of Ice and Fire", Game of Thrones is one of the most acclaimed TV series in recent years (although the season finale did not fully satisfy the fans) and certainly the spearhead of the productions of the subsidiary of Warner Media until today.



    According to what emerged from THR, Martin has signed an agreement to develop not only the programming for HBO, but also that relating to the streaming service HBO Max. The contract will last five years and should include an “astronomical” remuneration, at a good eight figures. The work of George Martin it will not only cover content related to the Game of Thrones universe. He is currently executive producer on the next series, Who Fears Death, adapted from Nnedi Okorafor's post-apocalyptic novel, e Roadmarks, based on Roger Zelazny's fantasy novel.

    Given the huge success of the show, HBO has well thought of making several spinoffs, in order to enrich the lore in the immense (and ruthless) world of Westeros. At the moment, six series are in the works set in the same universe as GoT and which should soon see the light on the streaming platform of the US company. Among the productions in development we find House of the Dragon which should tell about House Targaryen's conquest of Westeros, serving as a prequel to the original series.


    But that's not all, since there would also be among the series in the works Tales of Dunk and Egg, another prequel following Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire (Aegon Targaryen), Nymeria project, The Sea Snake, Flea Bottom and a new one animated drama series (although at the moment we don't know much about the project in the pipeline). Waiting to find out more details on the series in development, we remind you that the father of Game of Thrones has also participated in the writing (in collaboration with FromSoftware e Hayao Miyazaki) by Elden Ring, the next action role-playing video game from the famous Japanese software house.
