George R.R Martin revealed that he’s still working on a previously abandoned Game of Thrones spinoff, but fans are only interested in one thing.
WhileHouse of the Dragon Season 2is next on the schedule, theGame of Thronescreator and master of all dragons is still working on a project thought to be long forgotten.
On his website, Martin revealed that he’s still working on the Game of Thrones spinoff Ten Thousand Ships. He’s even paired up with Eboni Booth, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, for thenew TV show, which sounds like it could be the biggest Game of Thrones show yet.
Martinwrote: “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.”
