Two More Animated 'Game Of Thrones' Shows In The Works

We’re seemingly going to see more “Game of Thrones” projects tossed on the garbage heap than will air on HBO/HBO Max, as another series in development has been dumped by WarnerMedia.

The Hollywood Reporter has shared an update that the series focused on the extremely poor district in King’s Landing, Flea Bottom, has been given the boot. Although, they don’t exactly give a reason why it isn’t moving forward. This comes after reports of the next wave of prequel/spinoff shows being in the works.

Oddly enough, HBO Max is developing another two animated projects (alongside a previously announced one) as the outlet adds one of them will focus on The Golden Empire of Yi Ti, loosely inspired by Imperial China. The location at the most south-eastern edge of the known world is considered one of the oldest and advanced societies in the fictional realm created by author George R.R. Martin.

There have also been reports of other live-action shows in development such as “Tales of Dunk & Egg,” the “Sea Snake/The 9 Voyages,” and “10,000 Ships.” Although, there had been a wave of projects even before this that mostly found their way into development hell and will likely never see the light of day.

One recent example is “The Long Night/Bloodmoon.” A prequel pilot that actually was shot starring Naomi Watts (“The Impossible,” “King Kong“) and directed by S.J. Clarkson (“Jessica Jones“) was supposed to focus on the origin of The White Walkers, the undead army that almost wiped out Westeros of every living soul. Had the project continued beyond the pilot, writer and showrunner Jane Goldman (“X-Men: First Class,” “Kick-Ass,” “The Woman In Black“) would have stayed on for the series order.

The only show that has officially headed into production with a series order is “House of The Dragon,” which is due to be released sometime in 2022 and begun production a few months back. Based on Martin’s “historical” novel “Fire & Blood,” it chronicles various figures in the Targaryen family.
