#The World of ‘Game of Thrones’ May Be Animated in New HBO Max Series

Add another potential series to the list of ways the world of Game of Thrones may be expanding.

An “adult-leaning” animated drama, “similar in tone” to the original series, is in the works — still deemed the “early stages” — at the streaming service HBO Max, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

This is just the latest in possible series being added to the franchise that started with Game of Thrones (2011-19 on HBO). A prequel, House of the Dragon, was ordered straight to series in 2019, with production slated for the spring. Its cast includes Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, and Paddy Considine.

There may also be a second prequel, adapted from author George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg coming to HBO. It, too, is only in development. The novellas on which it would be based take place 90 years before his A Song of Ice and Fire.

Given the massive success Game of Thrones was for HBO — even with divisive opinions about the final season — it’s no wonder we may be getting more series. It’s likely just a matter of which end up being ordered and which never leave the developmental stage.
