When Game of Thrones ended, it seemed like there were endless possibilities for spinoffs based on HBO’s hugely successful fantasy series. Some characters, Like Jon Snow and Arya Stark, had sequel series baked into their endings. Other ideas, like an animated adventure or a prequel set in Westeros’ distant past, also seemed like easy wins.
Many spinoffs were announced in the years since Bran was named King, but only one has reached our screens: House of the Dragon. That prequel, set more than a century before Game of Thrones, follows the Targaryen family during the Dance of the Dragons, a bloody succession conflict that spelled the beginning of the dynasty’s end. Now, a new spinoff reveals that House of the Dragon isn’t a one-off: the future of Game of Thrones lies with the Targaryens.
