3 'Game of Thrones'-based series proceeding 'nicely,' Martin says
Deadline reported that George R.R. Martin, the creator of "Game of Thrones," said on his official blog Saturday that work is proceeding "nicely" on three new series at HBO based on "Thrones."
But Martin cautioned against believing rumors about the shows.
"Don't believe everything you read," he wrote. "Internet reports are notoriously unreliable. We have had five different GAME OF THRONES successor shows in development (I mislike the term "spinoffs") at HBO, and three of them are still moving forward nicely."
He added: "The one I am not supposed to call THE LONG NIGHT will be shooting later this year, and two other shows remain in the script stage, but are edging closer. What are they about? I cannot say. But maybe some of you should pick up a copy of FIRE & BLOOD and come up with your own theories."
Bob Greenblatt, the recently appointed chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment and Direct-to-Consumer who oversees HBO, earlier confirmed to Deadline that conversations have been underway about continuing the "Game of Thrones" universe. "But we have to be really thoughtful about not killing the golden goose and not putting on shows that aren't up to that quality level, and how many is too many."
