Read our privacy policy The idea of a Game of Thrones spin-off might have been given a firm “no” by HBO, but George RR Martin has “a whole world full of stories’ that he wants to share with viewers. Martin, author of the A Song of Ice and Fire books on which the show is based, believes there are “eight million stories” in his fantasy land of Westeros alone. A whole world full of stories…if indeed HBO is interested.” Martin went on to suggest The Tales of Dunk and Egg, which take place in Daenerys, Sansa and Tyrion’s world some 90 years earlier. “The Hedge Knight and its sequels are lighter than A Song of Ice and Fire, more in the realm of action-adventure.” There have been no discussions about Game of Thrones spin-offs yet, but HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo hinted that he could be swayed if Martin “really felt that it was the right thing to do” or if current showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss jumped on board.
