A new article from The Hollywood Reporter sheds light on the journey that was to make the Dragon Family real, and reveals some of the fifteen different spinoff possibilities that have been suggested along the way. According to the report, one of the concepts was a superhero team-up about the famous seven gods of Westeros as if they were real people. ” The series would follow the adventures of Father, Warrior, etc. – and according to one insider cited in the report – “this plan didn’t go very far.”
Reports also indicated that a trio of hypothetical series is being considered, including 9 Voyages ( Sea Snake ), Flea Bottom , and 10,000 Ships . Bruno Heller, a graduate of Gotham and Pennyworth, is to work on Sea Snake . There is also an additional spinoff series adapting the Tales of Dunk & Egg novelties , as well as a potential animated series for HBO Max.
“I’d rather not invent an arbitrary number – I want three programs or five or ten programs. I try to talk to the team about what stories and characters are worth highlighting. I only consider programs that have potential, ”explained HBO boss Casey Bloys.
The Dragon House tells the story of the Targaryen Dynasty at its absolute peak, with over 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires – real and imagined – wobble at such heights. In the case of the Targaryen, their slow decline begins almost 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones , when King Viserys Targaryen breaks with a centuries-old tradition, making his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. When Viserys later begets a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir. The seeds of division wreak friction throughout the kingdom.
Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno and Rhys Ifans star in the series.
