The stretches of time between Game Of Thrones<\/strong><\/em> season finales and Game Of Thrones<\/strong> <\/em>season premieres are currently far too long for our liking. What with unrelenting shock endings and interweaving storylines, each hiatus is more painful and frustrating then the previous one.<\/p>\n

But HBO could be about to fix that, especially after talk that the network’s bosses are considering working on a spin-off for the show.<\/p>\n

At this month’s TCA press tour, HBO’s original programming president Casey Bloys said<\/a>: “All I can say is that we\u2019re exploring it. We don\u2019t have any scripts, we\u2019re not even close to saying \u2018Oh let\u2019s do this.\u2019<\/p>\n

“But it\u2019s a big enough property that we would be foolish not to explore it. It\u2019s a really rich world. We\u2019d be foolish not to look at it.”<\/p>\n

A spin-off could also help to soften the blow when the fantasy saga finally comes to an end. With only two seasons left to air, we’re going to need to take that blow while wrapped in bubblewrap and a super soft House\u00a0Stark-themed blanket.<\/p>\n

However, any kind of\u00a0Game Of Thrones<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0prequel<\/em> series would have to be run by author George RR Martin.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters<\/a>\u00a0at the TCA tour, executive producer David Benioff said: “You might want to ask George about that. It’s a great world George created. I think it’s a very rich world, and I’m sure there will be other series set in Westeros, but for us, that is it. That’s really a question for George.”<\/p>\n

But there’s still hope. In response to Benioff, Martin said: “Well, I do have thousands of pages of fake history – everything that led up to Game Of Thrones<\/strong><\/em> – so there’s a wealth of material there, and I’m still writing more.”<\/p>\n

Game Of Thrones<\/em> Season 7 is set to air sometime this spring\/summer on Sky Atlantic HD. Get all the latest fantasy news with every issue of SciFiNow.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
