Although GameOfThrones is over, the future looks bright for Westeros.
It’s currently an era where media empires live and die based on the properties at their disposal. Disney is entirely devoted to curating their Marvel and Star Wars franchises, Amazon is dominated by Lord of the Rings content, Paramount is shaping its new streaming service around the Star Trek franchise, and Netflix is looking to base its future around the success of Stranger Things and The Witcher. There is no bigger weapon in HBO’s arsenal than Game of Thrones.
House of the Dragon will have ten episodes, and the strong word of mouth surrounding the pilot episode “The Heirs of the Dragon” suggest that fans are happy to return to Westeros. Filming for a second season is set to begin in fall or winter of 2022. The pilot was so popular that it caused HBO Max’s service to crash.
The Sea Snake One of the standout characters within the House of the Dragon pilot was the most enigmatic member of the King’s Council, Lord Corlys Velaryon . Also known as “The Sea Snake,” Velaryon earned his reputation through his infamous adventures as a naval warrior. HBO appears to be working on a prequel series to House of the Dragon that will focus on The Sea Snake’s earlier, globetrotting days.
A Tale of Dunk and Egg The Tales of Dunk and Egg series consists of three novellas written by Martin that are set 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones. These stories follow Ser Duncan the Tall and a young Aegon V Targaryen during their early adventures. So far the series includes 1998's The Hedge Knight, 2003’s The Sworn Sword, and 2010’s The Mystery Night, but Martin has indicated that he’s interested in continuing the series.
