Are you going to watch the new Game of Thrones show?

The great thing about a show with a lot of lore and history is that you can make a ton of shows about it. All it takes is a little mention of something that happened in the past and it can balloon into a whole storyline in itself.

HBO shot a pilot in 2019 then canceled it. It was called blood moon and started Naomi Watts. It was set during the long night 5000 years before the main GOT story line.

Kit Harrington said they (development team and him) shelved it because they couldn’t come up with a compelling story.

Boobs could be the main storyline. Jon could make up for all the time he missed scoring with hot chicks.

I htink they are going to keep making shows as long as they are printing money. I am all for it. I think this one will be very successful. I wonder if they would expand on the planned Dunk and Eggs stories. They are all short stories, so Martin could probably give them broad strokes and they could adapt them since he doesn't write anymore.

I wonder what they would do next. I heard potentially a Yi Ti show or Nymeria show. Those seem way out of left field. Too bad the BloodMoon show ddnt get through pilots, I thought that sounded interesting.

GRRM is closest to finishing She Wolves of Winterfell and The Village Hero in Tales of Dunk and Egg. I could see them running with his basic outline, but I hope not. He said he'll finish them after releasing Winds of Winter which who knows when that'll be.

Nymeria would be cool if they start with origin story before Valarians wipe em all out and ending after the conquest and unification of Dorne.

I'm still waiting for the Jon Snow spin off. I do love the history of GoTs but I would love to see the fallout of the original series.

I imagine some of that will be in A Dream of Spring (final book in series whatever it's name will be). Since in world is all about Long Night, and every story contributes to that I doubt we'll ever get a post Night story. Not even sure if that last book gets finished.
