Based on Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” “House of the Dragon” is a prequel series set 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” It follows the eponymous, fiery House of the Dragon, House Targaryen, during their reign of Westeros. In fact, Martin has stated that “House of the Dragon” was the first “Game of Thrones” follow-up concept he pitched to HBO, back in 2016. Naturally, keeping it in the “Game of Thrones” family, Martin will serve as executive producer - and co-creator, alongside Ryan Condal (“Colony”) - on HBO’s upcoming “House of the Dragon” series. Martin has on his plate, from confirmed series to projects at the earliest levels of development.

IndieWire has compiled a list of 14 other projects George R.R. Since then, fans of Martin have eagerly - and somewhat impatiently - awaited the next book in the series, “The Winds of Winter.” And it seems like that it finally may be coming soon - possibly as soon as this year.īut as fans have noticed over the years, whether they like it or not, Martin hasn’t just been working on “The Winds of Winter.” He has plenty of irons in the metaphorical fire, especially since signing a five-year overall deal - in the mid-eight figures - with HBO this past March. In all seriousness, Martin has yet to tell a complete “Song of Ice and Fire” story, as the most recent book in the series (“A Dance with Dragons,” which the fifth season of “Game of Thrones” covered) was published in 2011.

Martin’s epic fantasy novel series “A Song of Ice and Fire” served as the inspiration for a niche HBO show called “Game of Thrones.” The television series ran for eight seasons, telling a complete, uncontroversial story.
