„Game of Thrones” spin-offs confirmed – VIDEO
The hugely popular „Game of Thrones” series will conclude with its eighth season in 2018, but HBO producers want to keep it going.
HBO has chosen four writers to begin developing potential spin-off storylines for the franchise, according to Variety. The cable network has signed deals with writers Max Borenstein, Jane Goldman, Brian Helgeland and Carly Wray to develop ideas that would extend the world of the show, based on the book series by George R.R. Martin.
Goldman and Wray are set to work directly with Martin to develop future plots.
“We’ll take as much or as little time as the writers need and, as with all our development, we will evaluate what we have when the scripts are in,” a HBO spokesperson said, according to CBS.
“Game of Thrones” executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff will not write for the spin-offs, but will work as producers, as will Martin.
