Even though the main series wrapped up seven years ago, Game of Thrones is still going strong in a range of spin-offs.
Earlier this year, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the tale of hedge knight Dunk and his mysterious squire Egg, charmed audiences worldwide and secured a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score (read our own A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms review for our verdict), and this June will see the Targaryens return in House of the Dragon season 3. Then, in July, the Game of Thrones: The Mad King stageplay begins in the UK's Stratford-upon-Avon, focusing on the pivotal tourney at Harrenhal before Robert's Rebellion.
If all that wasn't enough, the first Game of Thrones movie, set to focus on Aegon the Conqueror, was recently announced.
"Game of Thrones is this incredible IP that seems in some ways infinite," Warner Bros's global chief marketing officer Shauna Spenley said at the Variety Entertainment Marketing Summit, when the film was mentioned. "And we saw just a couple of months ago with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is really lighter fare of that IP, just kind of go supernova all over the world. And so there's clearly a lot of demand. I think this theatrical endeavor will be no exception. House of the Dragon is coming later this summer.
"So, it feels now like it really has an audience that has long-term expectations. Again, habitual expectations," she continued. "They don't really want to wait a couple years for every installment."
It sounds like Westeros still has plenty more to offer, then. So far, not much is known about the Aegon's Conquest movie, though it has been confirmed that Andor writer Beau Willimon is penning the script. It was also previously being developed as a TV show with The Batman 2 co-writer Mattson Tomlin as writer. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2, meanwhile, is confirmed for 2027.
Over in the books, meanwhile, the wait for The Winds of Winter is about to overtake the wait for all five books combined, and George R.R. Martin's publisher has denied a rumor that the long-awaited sixth book would release this fall.
House of the Dragon is coming this June, though there's no exact release date just yet. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Game of Thrones movies and TV shows for everything else in the works.
