Game of Thrones Author Wants to Write Book Based on Canceled HBO Spin-off

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours logged into the realm of Westeros, I can barely contain my excitement at the prospect of George R.R. Martin delving deeper into the intricate tapestry that is Braavos. The city, with its rich history and enigmatic allure, has always been one of the most fascinating aspects of the A Song of Ice and Fire series for me.

George R.R. Martin plans to work on a different narrative once he completes the eagerly awaited sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire sequence.

Martin has shared in his latest blog entry that someday, he intends to pen a tale inspired by the bustling city of Braavos, a significant location from the A Song of Ice and Fire series, home to the Iron Bank, the House of Black and White, and the colossal Titan of Braavos – an imposing fortress sculpted in the form of a towering statue that guards the city’s entrance at its base.

What did George R.R. Martin say about a Braavos story?

Martin’s blog entry primarily focuses on the city being influenced by multiple European sites, such as Amsterdam, and other locations. He additionally disclosed that an idea for a television series had initially been considered, serving as a sequel to HBO’s Game of Thrones; however, it appears that the project didn’t move forward in the end.

Martin mentioned, “Someday I’ll pen the Braavos tale we were working on for HBO. Unfortunately, they put that project aside a couple of years ago, but that doesn’t stop me from revisiting it… Once The Winds of Winter is completed, though, I might find myself with enough spare time to visit Amsterdam once more.

Martin’s announcement about the spin-off series is the initial time anyone has discussed the project’s progression. Yet, it isn’t the first Game of Thrones spin-off concept to be under development before being scrapped. Previously, The Long Night, a project with its pilot episode already filmed, was also abandoned, as were other projects like 10,000 Ships and a Game of Thrones sequel series focusing on Jon Snow.
