The expansion of the Game Of Thrones universe continues apace as HBO looks to keep the Golden Goose honking. With one prequel already shooting and Dunk & Egg in development, the cable channel has not one but three others now in various very early stages.
9 Voyages, also known as Sea Snake has Rome and Gotham producer Bruno Heller working on the idea with Thrones novelist George RR Martin. The title refers to the great voyages at sea made by Corlys Velaryon aboard the Sea Snake ship. Velaryon journeyed to places including Pentos, Dragonstone and around the bottom of Westeros as well as to Lys, Tyrosh and Myr. He reached the fabled lands of Yi Ti and Leng, whose wealth doubled that of the House Velaryon, and him and the Ice Wolf headed north searching for passage around the top of Westeros, only to find frozen seas and icebergs as big as mountains.
Then we have Flea Bottom, the poorest slum district in King’s Landing, a maze-like warren of narrow streets and dark alleys filled with tanneries, brothels and ale houses. You might recall it from the first four seasons of Thrones, including when Arya Stark takes refuge there after fleeing the Red Keep.
Finally, we have 10,000 Ships, which would chronicle the journey made by warrior queen Princess Nymeria and the surviving members of the Rhoynars, who travelled from Essos to Dorne following their defeat by the Valyrian Freehold in the Second Spice War. This migration took place around 1,000 years before the events depicted in the A Song Of Ice And Fire novels.
Will any of them make it to screens? That remains to be seen...
