Game of Thrones: George RR Martin talks about the subject of the spin-off series

While the Game of Thrones series will end in 2019, the American channel HBO continues the development of several spin-offs around the medieval-fantasy show.

George RR Martin, the author of A Song of Ice & Fire reveals that Fire & Blood contains "the monumental story of the Targaryen kings of Westeros". Indeed, his book Fire & Blood is an accompanying book to his saga.

Even if Fire & Blood is not the long-awaited chapter of his saga A Song of Ice & Fire, it will arrive in bookstores in 2019 at the earliest. However, fans of the HBO series based on Martin's work will want to pay attention to his latest novel. Why? Because it could provide information on the last scenes of Game Of Thrones.

"As most of you know, HBO is currently developing a number of different prequels for Game of Thrones," George RR Martin writes on his website."I know I'm going to be asked if these shows are going to be based on Fire & Blood material.That is a logical question. "

"The only answer I can give is… Ah, well, no one is sure yet, and anyway, I have no right to say.So, let's move it to the side. "

The spin-off does not contain any characters previously seen in the series. However, "there may be [familiar] bloodlines" in the potential series. So, considering that Daenerys and Jon Snow are members of the Targaryen dynasty, that would certainly make the dragon-obsessed family a good choice for a spin-off.

Last May, HBO announced that it had contracts with four writers: Carly Wray (Mad Men), Jane Goldman (X-Men), Brian Helgeland (Mystic River) and Max Borenstein (Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island) in order to

"explore different periods of [George RR Martin's] vast and rich universe.There is no timeline for these projects.We'll take as much or as little time as the writers need and, like any development, we'll evaluate what we have when the scripts are in place. »

By saying nothing, George RR Martin is already saying a lot. Enough to relieve the frustration of fans of his books who are tirelessly waiting for the 6th volume.
