Fantasy writer George R.R. Martin took to his website today to offer updates on his many Game of Thrones spin-off series, and books including the long-awaited The Winds of Winter, among other projects—sharing his thoughts on early cuts of HBO’s prequel series House of the Dragon, which he says is “coming soon.”“HOUSE OF THE DRAGON has wrapped in London and is now in post-production,” he shared. “What I have seen, I have loved.

I am eager to see more.”Martin says he is developing GoT spin-off series across live-action and animation, for HBO and HBO Max respectively. “No, can’t tell you how many,” he said. “But it is my hope that a number of these shows will get on the air.”Those on the live-action side he could speak to included a series centered on the character Corlys Celaryon (initially titled Nine Voyages, but now called The Sea Snake), for which Rome creator-showrunner Bruno Heller has written the pilot; Nymeria series Ten Thousand Ships, for which showrunner Amanda Segel has delivered “a couple of drafts”; and a Dunk & Egg series from Steve Conrad, based on his novella series Tales of Dunk and Egg, the first season of which will adapt his novella, The Hedge Knight. “My team and I have had some great sessions with Steve and his team, and we really hit it off.

He’s determined to do a faithful adaptation of the stories, which is exactly what I want; these characters and stories are very precious to me,” wrote Martin. “Contrary to what you may have read on line, the show will not be called DUNK & EGG, which could be mistaken for a sitcom by viewers unfamiliar with the stories.

We’re leaning toward A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS for the series title, though THE HEDGE KNIGHT has its partisans as well.”On the animation
