HBO knows that it cannot miss a gem like Game of Thrones and that the end of the series only has to mean the beginning of a whole network of new content that helps stretch the success of this incredible fiction like gum. The proof? Well, beyond the already confirmed house of dragon and other titles still on the air, the platform seems to be planning a animated series. That there is no format left to exploit.
Game of Thrones, the universe of George RR Martin
Little can we say at this point that has not already been commented on Game of Thrones. This fantastic saga of books, known worldwide for years, experienced a second youth when the HBO platform He decided to close an agreement with its creator, George RR Martin, and bring his plots to the small screen.
The rest is already television history, of course. From the first moment the series was a real boom, thanks to all the fans of the paper who were looking forward to seeing how they brought their characters favorites and all those curious people who showed up to see what all the fuss was about -and who ended up just as hooked or more, even encouraging themselves to read the books.
With its ending (controversial ending, rather, Ahem), The bargain for the content platform is over, which saw its star series disappear forever without any good substitute that was looking to generate the same success. The firm was quick to react and they immediately began to talk about various projects, spin-offs for which the occasional pilot had even been recorded.
Of all the ideas on the table right now, we only have confirmation of the house of the dragon, which will tell us the story of the Targaryen years before the events of Game of Thrones, and the loud leak of Tales of Dunk and Egg, another prequel also based on some stories by RR Martin. To these two titles we could add a third: an animated series, uncovered exclusively by a medium with considerable weight in the industry.
Animated series for HBO Max
The medium is none other than The Hollywood Reporter, whose trusted sources confirm the existence of a project in which we will see a new story of Games of Thrones in animated format.
Apparently the conversations are still taking place (let's say they are in "the early stages") and although there have already been meetings between the scriptwriters, the project is not confirmed and is still on the table as a development, with the George R.R. Martin collaborationIndeed.
The presence of the writer in this new idea would be key: being a new series, with a plot that is not based on any book, having the guidance of the creator of this entire universe would be very beneficial to offer a coherent story and thus expand positive way this amazing fantasy world.
As for other content details, they're scant at the moment, but the leak points to an "adult-oriented" drama, "which would be similar in tone to HBO's flagship Emmy-winning live-action fantasy series." and that it would be broadcast on HBO Max.
En Slash Film remember that HBO was already flirting, in a much more rudimentary way, with the idea of a animated story. This is demonstrated by videos like the one below, belonging to the History & Lore collection.
What has been said: it is still a very simple idea of what the animated series would be, but it helps to let the imagination fly, don't you think?
