Every Game of Thrones Spin-Off and Film Coming in 2026
Game of Thrones fans have plenty to look forward to, with a stack of new films and series set in Westeros on the way. From prequels to animated adventures, here’s what’s in the pipeline for 2026 and beyond.
While the original Game of Thrones series has wrapped up, the world of Westeros is far from quiet. There’s a whole slate of new films and telly shows brewing, with seven projects currently in the works. Whether you’re still waiting for the next book or just keen for more dragons and political backstabbing, there’s plenty to keep punters entertained. From fresh prequels to animated spin-offs, here’s a rundown of what’s coming up, what’s been canned, and what’s still a bit of a mystery.
Confirmed Releases: What’s Locked In
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is set to hit screens on 18 January 2026. This series, based on George R.R. Martin’s novella "The Hedge Knight," takes place about a century after House of the Dragon. It follows Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey) and his squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) as they cross paths with a few Targaryens. Martin and Ira Parker are behind the script and production, so expect the usual mix of intrigue and family drama.
House of the Dragon is back for a third season, with post-production already wrapped up. The new season is due out in winter 2026 and will open with The Battle of the Gullet, straight from Martin’s "Fire & Blood." The show’s already been renewed for a fourth season, so it’s not going anywhere soon.
Projects in the Works: What’s on the Horizon
Aegon’s Conquest is still in development, with Mattson Tomlin (who worked on The Batman 2) writing the script. Details are thin, but the story is set to cover the earliest days of the Targaryen dynasty, when Aegon and his sisters took their dragons and set out to conquer Westeros. There’s been no major news since 2024, so it’s a waiting game for now.
The Sea Snake/Nine Voyages will follow Corlys Velaryon, first seen in House of the Dragon. Originally planned as live-action, it’s now being made as an animated series.
"Budgetary constraints would likely have made a live action version prohibitively expensive, what with half the show taking place at sea, and the necessity of creating a different port every week, from Driftmark to Lys to the Basilisk Isles to Volantis to Qarth to… well, on and on and on. There's a whole world out there. And we have a lot better chance of showing it all with animation. So we now have three animated projects underway."
There’s not much else to go on, but it’s one of several animated projects in the pipeline.
Ten Thousand Ships is another prequel, this time focusing on Nymeria, the legendary figure Arya named her direwolf after. After fleeing the conquered Rhoyne, Nymeria led her people to Dorne and married Lord Mors Martell. The first version of the show didn’t get picked up, but a new pilot is being written by Eboni Booth.
"She’s an amazingly talented young playwright, and a joy to work with; when not writing and producing her prize-winning plays on- and off-Broadway, she has been kept busy by me and HBO, working on a new pilot for TEN THOUSAND SHIPS, a GAME OF THRONES spinoff about Nymeria and the Rhoynar. We're all very excited about this one… though we're still trying to figure out how we're going to pay for ten thousand ships, three hundred dragons, and those giant turtles,"
Martin shared in 2024.
More Spin-Offs and What’s Been Cancelled
The Game of Thrones film is in the very early stages at Warner Bros., with no writer, cast, or director attached yet. It’s anyone’s guess what the story will be, but it’s likely not another prequel. Updates are expected to be slow on this one.
The Golden Empire is another animated project, set in Yi Ti, a region never shown in the previous series. Martin has teased some stunning concept art and a talented writer, but details are still under wraps.
"Over on the animated side… well, I am not allowed to talk about most of what’s happening, except to say that things are moving very fast, and I love love love some of the concept art I am seeing,"
he wrote in 2022. The working title is THE GOLDEN EMPIRE, and it promises a fresh look at the far east of the known world.
Several spin-offs have been scrapped along the way, including Flea Bottom, Empire of Ash (also known as a Doom of Valyria spin-off), Bloodmoon, and Snow. These projects were announced but never made it to production.
