Fans of HBO’s fantasy seriesGame of Thronescan rejoice because it sounds like the network is eager to return to the brutal world of Westeros in the near future. HBO is reportedly developing three more prequel shows that include9 Voyages,a.k.a.Sea Snake,Flea Bottom,and10,000 Ships.
HBO’s acclaimed fantasy seriesGame of Thronescame to a fiery end in 2019 after eight epic seasons. The live-action adaptation ofGeorge R.R. Martins’s fantasy novel seriesA Song of Ice and Firewas a critical darling, winning dozens of awards, and was likely one of the most popular shows of its time. Despite the final season receiving mixed reviews,Game of Throneswill likely be remembered as one of the biggest and most influential TV dramas of the 21st century, along with other ‘golden age’ shows likeThe Sopranos,Breaking BadandMad Men.
