    Report: 3 More “Game of Thrones” Spinoffs In the Works

    Much as we joke about it, it really does seem like HBO isn’t planning on fully abandoning the world of Westeros (and beyond) anytime soon. According to pretty reliable sources, HBO is currently eyeing three more spinoffs.

    The three proposed series, according to The Hollywood Reporter, include:


    One of the projects, working title 9 Voyages, is from Rome creator Bruno Heller and follows Lord Corlys Velaryon, a.k.a. The Sea Snake, the Lord of the Tides and head of House Velaryon. The character also appears in the upcoming greenlit GoT prequel House of the Dragon, where he’s played by actor Steve Toussaint. So this effort represents a potential spinoff of a character from a series that hasn’t yet been shot (let alone aired).

    A second project revolves around the warrior queen Princess Nymeria, a revered ancestor of House Martell who founded of the kingdom of Dorne.

    The third project is set in the notorious King’s Landing slum of Flea Bottom – the maze of tight streets in the capitol city where characters like Davos Seaworth and Gendry Baratheon were born.


    We are SO IN for those possible shows. But also, can we PLEASE have a spinoff about the Sand Snakes? Please??

    Last we heard, HBO had completely scratched one of the “Game of Thrones” prequel ideas. This was the series that had already filmed a pilot, about the children of the forest. Naomi Watts was set to star.

    We do know that the House Targaryen series “House of the Dragon” is moving right along, and will more than likely see the light of day. And, that the tales of Dunk and Egg are also being eyed to become a series.

    Obviously, this story is developing. We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other projects.

    The generative AI space just delivered its biggest plot twist of the spring 2026 season. After hyping the internet with jaw-dropping, physics-defying tech demos that looked straight out of a next-gen game engine, OpenAI abruptly pulled the plug on its flagship video model, Sora. With the consumer app shuttered in April and API access getting sunsetted by September, the dream of the ultimate standalone AI video generator just hit a massive "Game Over" screen. For digital artists, tech geeks, and developers, Sora’s sudden exit is a brutal reality check: mind-blowing graphics mean absolutely nothing if the game engine itself is too expensive to run. As OpenAI retreats to figure out its massive server-melting bottlenecks and copyright boss fights, two new heavyweights are stepping into the arena: ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 and Google’s heavily rumored Gemini Omni. To keep up with these rapid tech tree updates and massive shifts in the creator meta, savvy users are already flocking to specialized tracker hubs and resources like Gemini Omni to prep for the next generation of visual tech. The Fall of Sora: A Cautionary Tale of Server Wipes Sora was basically the Crysis of AI video—an absolute technical masterpiece that demanded an astronomical amount of compute. But it lacked a critical feature: ecosystem integration. Pushing out 60 seconds of physics-accurate 4K footage requires insane processing power. Because OpenAI didn't have a native distribution platform (like a built-in social feed or ad network) to monetize these generations, they were burning cash on a product that quickly turned into a moderation nightmare. Sora proved that having the ultimate creative sandbox is a liability if you don't have a safe, profitable way to share the creations. Seedance 2.0: Speedrunning the Attention Economy With the MVP out of the picture, ByteDance is aggressively pushing Seedance 2.0 to dominate the short-form meta. ByteDance isn't trying to build a Hollywood-level world simulator; they built a viral content machine. Hardwired directly into the TikTok data pipeline, Seedance 2.0 is optimized for fast render times, punchy aesthetics, and massive volume. It bypasses the massive compute costs by keeping generations short and tying the output directly to the ultimate monetization engine: the endless scroll of social media. Gemini Omni: The "Conversational Editing" Cheat Code While ByteDance is locking down the social feed, Google is targeting the pro creator’s workstation. Massive leaks right before the May 2026 Google I/O dropped some serious lore: a new model called Gemini Omni is being integrated directly into the core Gemini interface. What makes Omni revolutionary isn't just the hyper-realistic output—early leaks of complex chalkboards look insanely sharp—but its entirely new workflow. The leaked tagline, "Remix your videos, edit directly in chat," signals a massive shift toward conversational editing. Instead of typing a prompt and praying to the RNG gods for a good output, Omni lets you interactively tweak your video: "Keep the main character's sci-fi armor, but change the background to a cyberpunk neon city." Because navigating this new interactive workflow can be tricky, relying on deep-dive community guides, prompt structures, and dedicated platforms like Gemini Omni is quickly becoming the ultimate cheat code for creators who want to maximize their output. The Brutal "Mana Cost" of Creation There is a catch, though. Google isn't immune to the "mana cost" of rendering AI video. One of the most sobering details from the May leaks was that generating just two high-fidelity clips drained nearly 86% of a user's daily Google AI Pro quota. Google can leverage its massive server farms to subsidize these costs better than anyone, but the strict usage limits prove that "cost per generation" is going to be the final boss for solo creators and indie devs. You can't just spam the generate button anymore; every prompt needs to count. The Final Verdict: Ecosystem Lock-In The sudden death of Sora rewrote the rules of engagement. The winner of the AI video wars won't be the standalone app with the prettiest pixels; it will be the platform that offers the least friction between making the art and sharing it. With Seedance 2.0 guaranteeing frictionless delivery to TikTok, and Gemini Omni promising deep integration with Google Workspace and the Gemini LLM, the era of typing prompts into an isolated void is over. Welcome to the new, fully integrated meta.
