Animated House of the Dragon prequel show, Nine Voyages, is still "ongoing" according to Sea Snake actor Steve Toussaint, who has revealed he spoke to George R.R. Martin only last month.
Speaking to ScreenRant ahead of House of the Dragon season 3, Toussaint explained how the project switched from a planned live-action spin-off to an animated prequel around the release of House of the Dragon's first season, and that he could still voice a 21-year-old Lord Corlys in animated form.
"When we were shooting season 1, it was mooted and I was like, 'Oh my God, that'd be great.' And then I thought, 'I can't play 21 again. Oh shit, it's too late,'" Toussaint said. "And then George [R.R. Martin] said to me, 'Oh no, it'll be animated.' And I was like, 'Okay, great.' But that's the last I heard. I saw George just a few weeks ago and as far as I'm aware, it's ongoing. I don't know what stage they're at with it, but it's still a possibility. But other than that, I don't know."
Nine Voyages is one of the many (many) upcoming Games of Thrones movies and TV shows in development, set to greatly expand the World of Westeros on screen. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 is already in production, an Aegon's Conquest movie is being written by Andor scribe Beau Willimon, and a Jon Snow sequel show could seemingly still happen, despite earlier reports it had been scrapped.
House of the Dragon season 3 hits screens in just over a week, and will kick off with the long-awaited Battle of the Gullet, which showrunner Ryan Condal claims is the "craziest episode of television ever made." Lord Corlys is set to play a major role in the action, as Triarchy Admiral Sharako Lohar seeks vengeance on the Sea Snake.
The Battle of the Gullet, of course, was supposed to be a part of the truncated second season, before the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes played havoc with production and delayed the battle to season 3. But Condal says that hasn't affected the plan for seasons 3 or 4. Condal and his team are ahead of schedule, in fact, and have already started showing season 4 scripts to HBO.
Nine Voyages does not currently have a release date. House of the Dragon season 3 premieres on HBO on June 21 in the US, and on HBO Max, Now and Sky in the UK on June 22. For more, check out our guide to all the new TV shows coming in 2026 and beyond.
