George R. R. Martin confirms Game of Thrones sequel is in the works- Here’s what we know so far

HBO's renowned fantasy drama, Game of Thrones, premiered in 2011 and quickly became popular due to its breaking various narrative rules of TV shows. As the popularity of the series kept surging, the GOT universe kept expanding, and we got our first prequel series, House of the Dragon, in 2022. Since then, several other spinoffs have been announced, such as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which will premiere in January 2026.

With the Jon Snow series cancelled, only prequels were being created. However, recently, George R. R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire, revealed that sequels to Game of Thrones are in development. Meaning, we will get to see the Westeros post-GOT soon. According to Los Siete Reinos, while attending the 2025 Iceland Noir Festival, Martin revealed:

"And yes, there’s a sequel or two [in the works]."

More on this in our story.

Will there be a Game of Thrones sequel? Here's what George R. R. Martin revealed

After the divisive end of Season 8 of Game of Thrones in 2019, the fictional world of Westeros returned to the screen with House of the Dragon in 2022, set two centuries before the events of GOT, covering more epic battles and the fall of House Targaryen.

Another prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is also set to release next year, making it the second prequel series of Game of Thrones. While the fans of the HBO fantasy series enjoy the prequel shows, they have also been anticipating a sequel that would give them a glimpse into Westeros after the events of Game of Thrones. With the Jon Snow sequel starring Kit Harrington, it was going to be possible, but the show was cancelled in 2024.

Therefore, Martin's new announcement of Game of Thrones sequels in development has left fans excited. In the festival, the author revealed that several prequels of the fantasy series are in work and that there were a couple of sequels as well that he has been working on.

To add to his previous comment, he said:

"Apart from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms & House of the Dragon, there are other Game of Thrones spinoff projects in development. The majority are prequels, and there are several in development - maybe 5 or 6 shows. And I’m not developing them alone, I’m working on them with other people."

Along with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 2 and House of the Dragon Season 4 being renewed, and Aegon's Conquest already in development, HBO has added several GOT spinoffs to release until 2027-2028; therefore, this new revelation ensures that we will have various other spinoffs coming our way, expanding the fantasy land further.

Apart from the revelation that the sequels are in development, whether they will be movies or TV shows was not confirmed. Furthermore, a release date, cast, and storyline have also not been shared yet.
