but I'm a book reader so what do I know.

Less than the TV show fans

 

[Valonquar]

Maybe a WesterosWorld season of Westworld?

 

[lastplayed]

I'll finish GoT because I'm invested now, but man... I really don't think I can go through another series of misery and heartbreak. I'm getting too old for that.

 

[pablito]

Robert's Rebellion. Get that dude that plays Rollo in Vikings. Skeddiiittt

 

[Jag]

Dunk and Egg.
Egg crashes his cart into Dunk's and the King demands Egg becomes Dunk's butler*...but Egg is the Kings son! That means he's a prince and a butler*!



*Squire

Dunk the lunk. Thick as a castle wall.

 

[HStallion]

Just spend the money adapting Berserk and continue to rake in the cash.

Spoiler

The Red Wedding ain't got shit on the Eclipse

 

[Etrian Oddity]

I'd rather HBO return to the direction of Rome and give us something juicy like that.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

gimme dat Robert's Rebellion prequel thanks

This, I want to see badass Robert

 

[golem]

I would like to see something around the Doom of Valyria or the conquest of Westeros by Aegon

 

[Rumblebones]

Good. The more the better.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

Space age or post apocalyptic got plz.

 

[shintoki]

Conquest or Dunk and Egg

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Time for the best character to shine

 

[Discotheque]

Jane Goldman writes some shit scripts. 4 prequels sounds excessive and seeing that name on one of them is a double blow

 

[Herr Schwarz]

Jon Snow and his trusty wolf and Arya stark, become detectives solving murders and occult mysteries on the mean streets of New Orleans - I mean braavos. Each episode more sexier and action packed.

game of thrones meets due south it's perfect!

Dueee southhh

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Provided its not spoiled in the finale, I would love to see a show about the Long Night and what really happened outside the legends.

 

[Little Old Man]

I want to hear more about Bessey.



And her tits!

 

[xevis]

We have seven seasons of this stuff. I'd like to see it go away for a decade or so in favour of new programming.

 

[Black_Sun]

Ramsey clearly didnt think he was in any danger from John. He first offered to settle it the "old way". And was smiling while shooting John for the first few arrows then got increasingly more nervous the closer John got. It was completly in his character to behave that way.

If he wants to settle it the "old way" then he should pick up a sword.

It doesn't make sense that he'd fight with a bow and arrow with a guy that has a shield that can cover a significant chunk of his body

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Why are people requesting Dunk & Egg? Those books aren't done either! (and won't be any time soon)

If there is to be a spin-off, it should at least be based on content that is finished - maybe even something wholly original.

Regardless, I think it's going to be a tough sell if it isn't filled with fantastical elements (dragons, magic, etc.) - coming off of the last few seasons of Game of Thrones, I doubt many would care to follow a more grounded tale like Robert's Rebellion (especially when we already know the outcome of that story) or whatever. It's gotta be set in ancient Valyria with dragons or in Asshai or Sothoryos or some shit.

Anyway I'd much rather HBO allocate 100% of their resources to totally original series, but if a spin off of Game of Thrones can help fund more Enlightened's and Getting On's, then I'm all for it.

 

[Alebrije]

Want a serie just called : The Eunuch.

And him destroying others life thanks to his wishpers.

 

[Bandini]

I hope they do something interesting like showing the Lannisters coming into power and taking control of Casterly Rock. I'd be down for something more like a sitcom too. Walder Frey: The Bachelor Years?

 

[old manatee]

I want four High Maintenance spinoffs.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

What you are getting is a Podrick sitcom ala Sex and the City

 

[Leeness]

😂 He really really doesn't want to finish the book series.

Was also going to point this out lol.

 

[Sanke__]

That's crazy, but I'll be really cool to see House Targaryen at their height of their power.

Could be absolutely amazing if they nail casting the mad king

 

[Speevy]

I'm in if they promise the sand snakes aren't in any of them.

 

[BTM]

I am extremely ok with this. Give me all of it

 

[Speevy]

I'm a book reader so what do I know.

These days, just as much as the rest of us about how this series will end.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

High sparrow sitcom

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

I knew they wouldn't be able to stop. I guess I hope they are decent. Pretty out on the show currently, though. Alas.

 

[andythinkpad]

Dunk & Egg
Robert's Rebellion
Aegon's Conquest

what else?

Dance of the Sand Snakes

 

[diunxx]

HBO really needs to get their mojo back, smh.

 

[ryseing]

I don't understand why they wouldn't just do a 10 or 20 or however many years later sequel instead of a prequel?

I'm struggling to think of a prequel that I liked besides a good chunk of what was shown in the Godfather part 2 and that was shown alongside a sequel.

Prequels also lack tension since the outcome is known.

There's a good chance Westeros won't exist after Thrones ends.

(Not spoilers, purely my speculation)

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

A Dunk and Egg miniseries would be fun. And tonally they're not quite as bleak as the main series is at times.

Then again, you get to the issue of those short stories not being done either.... *sigh*

 

[Speevy]

(Not spoilers, purely my speculation)

Whitewalker spinoff.

Greg of House Wight: "RHHHHRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCHHHHHHHH!"
Cindy of House Whitewalker: "FFFFFFFHHHHHFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRGGHHHH!"

<wedding song plays>

 

[Apzu]

 

[duckroll]

I doubt HBO is really looking to produce 4 spinoffs at one go. More likely they want as many pitches as possible so they can pick one and move forward with it, and file the rest under "maybe later".

Honestly, I think a generational dynasty drama about the Targs make the most sense, given how much detail is already written in World of Ice and Fire, plus GRRM himself said there's a ton more in his head that he wants to put out at some point.

Written by Linda Antonnson in the credits. Now that would be something to see after all the shit she's given them.

 

[Quonny]

Shocked they haven't purchased the rights to The Cosmere yet.

 

[ryseing]

Shocked they haven't purchased the rights to The Cosmere yet.

Not enough sex, since Sanderson avoids the stuff, and it would be difficult to shoehorn some in.

They should have gotten on the Kingkiller train before Fox and Lin-Manuel did.

I dunno where HBO goes from here once Thrones ends. They've had success with big budget genre with Thrones and Westworld (somewhat with The Leftovers). Another genre adaptation is obvious but Thrones prequel seems like the safe route.

IMO they should swing for the fences and do Sandman, but I don't see them taking that chance.

 

[Astral Dog]

Milk that cow

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I'd watch it all if it still had the production values

 

[mandiller]

I'd be keen to see both Aegon's Conquest or the Blackfyre Rebellion, but maybe the rebellion would be more entertaining because it's not just a one-sided slaughter fest by a seemingly invincible enemy. We know a few details about both events, but there'd be some interesting characters and battles to explore there.

Robert's Rebellion is less interesting in my mind because it's so close to the events of Game of Thrones, and we already know a lot of the major plot points and outcomes. None of it is going to be shocking.

 

[Kaneda Shotaro]

Dunk & Egg
Robert's Rebellion
Aegon's Conquest

what else?

One season for each of these (complete story arcs!) with a nice budget and each season has different stars (obviously)? Fucking yes please.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I sure as hell won't watch Max Borenstein input on the subject...

 

[jetjevons]

Adore her. Will watch basically anything she's involved with. And if it means we get something fun, outrageous and not overly dour or self-serious in the SoI&F universe I'm in.

 

[Turin]

- A couple other tidbits via EW:

Good. Most of these stories wouldn't have legs past one season.

 

[KahooTs]

Unless they go 1:1 for D&E there's no reason to think any of it will be good and good reason to think all of it will be shit.

 

[Cartman86]

I want a Legend of Korra style spinoff. Hundreds if not thousands of years into the future. They've discovered electricity etc.
