Every Upcoming Game Of Thrones Project Fans Need To Track Right Now

Westeros isn’t done with us yet. Between confirmed sequels, animated experiments, and a stage play that nobody saw coming, George R.R. Martin’s universe is expanding in more directions than fans can easily keep track of.

Some of these ‘Game of Thrones‘ spin-offs are locked in with premiere dates already behind them, while others are still hovering in that frustrating limbo of “maybe someday.” Here is where every major project actually stands.

‘House of the Dragon’ Heads Toward Its Final Chapters

‘House of the Dragon’ remains the flagship of the franchise’s expansion, and its stakes have never been higher. Season 3 covers the Dance of the Dragons civil war and picks up directly from the brutal Season 2 finale, with Team Black and Team Green barreling toward full scale war. The eight episode season premiered on HBO and HBO Max on June 21, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET, with the UK getting it a day later.

The premiere reportedly opens with a massive set piece. According to reporting from Deadline, the episode opens with the Battle of the Gullet, which showrunner Ryan Condal has called one of the most ambitious episodes of television ever produced. The season runs weekly through a finale on August 9, 2026.

HBO has already mapped out the show’s endgame. HBO has officially confirmed that Season 3 is the penultimate installment, with the already confirmed Season 4 set to bring the story to its conclusion. Because new seasons have reliably arrived every two years, Season 4 can likely be expected around the summer of 2028.

Fans hoping the wait won’t feel too long have at least gotten a taste already. A rough summer 2026 window for Season 3 and a 2027 release for the final season have both been floated, though an exact schedule has yet to be locked in.

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Proves the Formula Works

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ took a longer road to the screen than expected. Warner Bros. Discovery had originally told fans the series would arrive in 2025, and footage even appeared in a teaser for Max’s 2025 slate before the release slipped. HBO content chairman and CEO Casey Bloys eventually narrowed the new window down to “winter,” pointing toward an early 2026 release.

The show ultimately delivered on that promise. Season 1, based on the novella The Hedge Knight, premiered on January 18, 2026, and became a significant success for HBO. The story is set roughly a century before ‘Game of Thrones’ and follows Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall, a lowborn hedge knight played by Peter Claffey, alongside his young squire Egg, secretly the future King Aegon V Targaryen, played by Dexter Sol Ansell.

Unlike its predecessor, the tone here leans lighter. The show trades the political brutality of the original series for a warmer, more adventurous buddy dynamic between its two leads.

Critics and audiences responded strongly. The series holds a 94 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, was the single most visited title on IMDb in February 2026, and reportedly averaged close to 14 million viewers per episode in the United States by the end of its six episode first season. HBO has already renewed it for a second season, based on the novella The Sworn Sword, expected in 2027.

‘Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest‘ Brings the ‘Game of Thrones’ to the Big Screen

The franchise’s first theatrical film finally has a name attached, even if it’s still a working one. During the studios’ presentation at CinemaCon 2026, Warner Bros. confirmed that ‘Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest’ is officially happening, with the project placed in the “2027 and beyond” category. Though various creatives were previously attached, writing duties have now landed with House of Cards scribe Beau Willimon.

The story itself sits at the very root of the saga. Aegon’s Conquest is essentially the first event on the ‘Game of Thrones’ timeline, kickstarting the entire saga, as Aegon foresaw the Doom of Valyria and flew to conquer Westeros with his dragons and sister wives. The name Aegon carries enormous weight across multiple eras of the franchise thanks to the legacy of Aegon the Conqueror, and this three hundred year earlier arc has long been a fan requested addition to the world.

Don’t expect tickets to go on sale anytime soon. There’s currently no official release date, though a high budget theatrical event of this scale will likely arrive no sooner than 2028.

‘Nine Voyages’ Keeps the Sea Snake Story Afloat

The most mysterious project on this list belongs to Corlys Velaryon. Titled Nine Voyages, the animated series would chronicle the Sea Snake’s nine great voyages across the world, and it has been over five years since the series was first announced as under consideration at HBO. The show was originally planned as live action, but was switched to animation, as revealed by Martin himself on his blog back in 2023.

Star Steve Toussaint recently offered a small but meaningful update. Speaking to ScreenRant, Toussaint revealed he had spoken with Martin just weeks earlier and, as far as he’s aware, the project is still ongoing and remains a possibility, even though he doesn’t know what stage it’s at. A report from earlier this year also indicated that Genndy Tartakovsky is attached to the animated project.

The premise promises to take fans somewhere entirely new. Sea Snake would follow Corlys’s many journeys to places the original series never touched, including the mysterious Asshai across the Narrow Sea. Toussaint himself sounds genuinely invested in the character’s arc, saying he’s especially drawn to the story of how Corlys won over Princess Rhaenys.

A 10,000 Ships Movie pr Series Could Still Happen

Beyond the confirmed projects, one long rumored idea refuses to die. George R.R. Martin’s 2026 profile in The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the project, focused on the legendary Sea Snake era warrior queen Nymeria, was not only still alive but being considered as both an HBO television series and a Dune sized feature film from the Warner Bros. film team.

If it moves forward, it would fill a notable gap in the franchise. There is currently a shortage of historical dramas led by women, so a project like this would mean a great deal for the industry’s progress, with fans able to expect feminist themes that amplify traits already established in the franchise’s great female characters.

Between a war fought a century before Aegon’s Conquest and a queen who sailed ten thousand ships to escape her homeland, Martin’s world clearly still has stories left to tell, so which of these expansions are you actually counting down the days for.
