Game of Thrones keeps pulling the realm back in, and this time the whisper trail feels hotter than dragon breath. HBO is pushing the franchise forward with fresh sequels, and George R.R. Martin is giving the world latest fuel.
On the 2025 Iceland Noir Festival, he quietly confirmed that the franchise isn’t any longer limited to prequels like House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, per Los Siete Reinos. There may be now talk of a sequel or two in development, alongside the 5 or 6 other projects he’s working on with different creative partners.
Jon Snow Spinoff Stays Off the Table for Now
Martin left the room guessing about which characters these sequels might follow. The probabilities sparked quick gossip since the Jon Snow sequel, which once featured Kit Harington, was declared canceled in 2024. Even so, the prospect of Jon slipping right into a future ensemble stays a tempting thought, especially since nothing has been ruled out publicly.
There may be also the October 2024 report hinting at a Game of Thrones movie in development at Warner Bros. Nobody knows if it was tied to events before or after the unique series, and the silence since then only feeds the speculation. Martin’s recent comments make it easy to imagine that the film might still be a part of this growing sequel lineup.

Arya Stark, Bran the King, and Sansa the Queen Remain Strong Candidates
Arya Stark sailing into the unknown still lingers within the minds of many. Her route toward whatever lies west of Westeros sparked years of calls for an Arya-led sequel. The finale also arrange paths for Bran as King of Westeros and Sansa as Queen within the North, leaving multiple door open for a post-series story. A sequel could follow a well-recognized face and even step into the lifetime of a brand new figure moving quietly somewhere across the map.
The books offer no hints for now because Martin has yet to publish The Winds of Winter or its sequel A Dream of Spring. The screen waits for its own path while the pages remain unfinished.
HBO’s Prequel Slate Continues to Expand
Even so, the prequel corner looks busy with confirmed and rumored projects. Aegon’s Conquest will follow King Aegon I Targaryen as he takes Westeros. The Golden Empire circles across the far eastern land of Yi Ti, while The Sea Snake travels through the young adventures of Corlys Velaryon before House of the Dragon, and 10,000 Ships recounts Princess Nymeria guiding her people to Dorne.
Franchise Momentum Stretches Through 2028 & Beyond
House of the Dragon already holds a renewal through season 4, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms landed a season 2 order ahead of its premiere on January 18, 2026. Now, with all of that stretching through 2028, HBO clearly intends to maintain Westeros alive for years.
So the news of multiple sequels hits with a spark that feels overdue. It hints at latest timelines and possibly the return of faces audiences still take into consideration, and if Martin is smiling behind all of it, then something interesting is brewing within the shadows of the Iron Throne.
