As the end of Game of Thrones draws near, even author George R.R. Martin is feeling a little nostalgic. But instead of dwelling entirely on the past, he’s also ready to talk about the future.
The 70-year-old author, who wrote the Fire & Ice book series from which GoT is based, revealed details about upcoming Thrones spin-offs in the works at HBO. Spoiler alert: There are a few still in contention for a series pickup.
“We have had five different Game of Thrones successor shows in development (I mislike the term ‘spinoffs’) at HBO, and three of them are still moving forward nicely,” the author wrote on his blog this past weekend.
He did not explain what his particular beef with the word “spinoffs” is, but that’s an issue for another time.
