Upcoming Game of Thrones movies and TV shows: every spin-off in the works based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy world

There are tons of upcoming Game of Thrones movies and TV shows in the works, so keeping up with what's to come from Westeros can be a tad daunting.

Now that House of the Dragon season 3 has wrapped up on HBO, there's no better time to get up to date as we await the next offering from the Seven Kingdoms. Below, you'll find all you need to know about the upcoming Game of Thrones movies and TV shows, including those that have been scrapped or are seemingly in development hell.

So, while the wait for The Winds of Winter goes on, head on down to our guide and get up to speed on all things Westeros.

Upcoming Game of Thrones movies and shows TBC

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2

Status: Post-production
Release date: 2027

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 is well on its way to our screens. Egg star Dexter Sol Ansell has confirmed on his Instagram that he has wrapped filming, and we know the project is set for a 2027 release.

Filming kicked off in December 2025, before season 1 had even aired, and we can expect the action to take us away from Ashford Meadow and onto Dorne as hedge knight Dunk and his new squire Egg continue their adventures.

Each season of the Game of Thrones prequel is set to be based on one of George R.R. Martin's novellas, so season 2 will adapt The Sworn Sword. With each novella being a standalone story, we can expect a new cast of supporting characters to be introduced next season – but showrunner Ira Parker says never say never to the return of some familiar faces.

Aegon's Conquest

Status: In development
Release date: TBC

There have been talks of both a 'Game of Thrones movie' penned by Andor scribe Beau Willimon, and an 'Aegon's Conquest movie' written by The Batman 2's Mattson Tomlin being in the works. However, it seems as though Warner Bros. has rolled these projects into one, as the 'Game of Thrones movie', which Warner Bros. was said to be "quietly developing" back in 2024 (The Hollywood Reporter ), actually is Aegon's Conquest.

During the studios' presentation at CinemaCon 2026, Warner Bros. confirmed that Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest, which is the movie's working title, is officially happening. The film was included in the "2027 and beyond" category. That means we could see the new film in a matter of a few years. Willimon is still on board to write.

While plot details haven't been clarified just yet, we can take some cues from Martin's source material. Aegon's Conquest is pretty much the first event to happen on the Game of Thrones timeline, kickstarting the entire saga. After foreseeing the Doom of Valyria, Aegon took his dragons and sister-wives and flew to conquer Westeros. This established the Targaryen dynasty, which ultimately came to an end with Robert's Rebellion (before the Game of Thrones show). So, this series would be a prequel to pretty much everything.

Snow

Status: In development
Release date: TBC

The scrapped Jon Snow Game of Thrones spin-off that would have been a sequel show starring Kit Harington might be back in development – and Arya Stark might make a comeback, too.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first incarnation of the spin-off would have seen Jon Snow living north of the Wall with PTSD, without his direwolf Ghost or his sword Longclaw. Jon Snow would've been a broken man who built cabins then burned them down. Harington also apparently wanted his iconic character to die.

According to the publication, HBO unsurprisingly found this too downbeat, so it was put aside. But, reportedly, Drops of God's Quoc Dang Tran has recently joined the project for a fresh take. Nothing is set for definite, but there is a chance of the story taking place in Essos, and Arya might return. Whether this ends up happening, and whether Kit Harington or Maisie Williams return, remains to be seen.

The Sea Snake/Nine Voyages

Status: In development
Release date: TBC

This particular spin-off would follow the adventures of the Sea Snake, AKA Corlys Velaryon. He was introduced to live-action in House of the Dragon season 1, played by Steve Toussaint. However, the show has been switched from live-action to animation, as revealed by Martin himself on his Not a Blog page in 2023. "Budgetary constraints would likely have made a live action version prohibitively expensive, what with half the show taking place at sea, and the necessity of creating a different port every week, from Driftmark to Lys to the Basilisk Isles to Volantis to Qarth to… well, on and on and on. There's a whole world out there. And we have a lot better chance of showing it all with animation. So we now have three animated projects underway."

As for the other two animated projects, it's not entirely clear what they are, or whether they're still going ahead (though we assume one is the Yi Ti animated show titled The Golden Empire). And, like many projects on this list, updates on this project have been scarce.

The latest update we had came from Corlys himself who is still hopeful it will be made.

Ten Thousand Ships

Status: In development
Release date: TBC

Ten Thousand Ships will follow Nymeria, the historical figure Arya named her Direwolf after way back at the start of Game of Thrones. After Nymeria's home of Rhoyne was conquered, Nymeria crossed the ocean to settle in Dorne, marrying Lord Mors Martell (of the same House Martell as the show) and ruling as Princess. Brian Helgeland was originally on board to write the series, but HBO didn't pick up his version. "It came out great, but I think they felt the period of my show was too far removed from the pillars of the original. That’s why it hasn’t been picked up yet, but nothing is ever dead," he told Inverse.

But, Martin revealed in 2024 that a new pilot was in the works, written by Eboni Booth. "She’s an amazingly talented young playwright, and a joy to work with; when not writing and producing her prize-winning plays on- and off-Broadway, she has been kept busy by me and HBO, working on a new pilot for TEN THOUSAND SHIPS, a GAME OF THRONES spinoff about Nymeria and the Rhoynar. We're all very excited about this one… though we're still trying to figure out how we're going to pay for ten thousand ships, three hundred dragons, and those giant turtles," he wrote.

The Golden Empire

Status: In development
Release date: TBC

The Golden Empire is another show we know hardly anything about, but Martin has spoken about it on his Not a Blog page. "Over on the animated side… well, I am not allowed to talk about most of what’s happening, except to say that things are moving very fast, and I love love love some of the concept art I am seeing," he wrote in 2022. "And.. wait, come to think of it, the news leaked several months ago that one of the animated shows would be set in Yi Ti. That's true.

Our working title is THE GOLDEN EMPIRE, and we have a great young writer on that one too, and I think the art and animation is just going to be beautiful. I would tell you more if I could. I don't think I can say a word about the other animated shows. Not yet." Yi Ti is an area we've never seen in the shows before, which lies to the east of Quarth.
