New Game of Thrones Spinoff in Development From Creator of A 10/10 Fantasy Masterpiece

by

The world of Game of Thrones continues to grow with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new prequel similar to House of the Dragon. What sets A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms apart is its comedic approach, marking a first for the franchise and allowing for new creative directions. Now, Game of Thrones is planning its most significant stylistic change yet, and has brought on a highly skilled creator to lead the way.

A recent report details the progress of HBO’s plans for expanding the world of Game of Thrones, including how many potential spinoff shows are currently being worked on. It seems there’s more happening behind the scenes than many people realize, and one project is especially noteworthy: an animated Game of Thrones series is in development, with a well-known animation expert leading the charge.

What Is Game of Thrones: Nine Voyages?

HBO is developing an animated series called Game of Thrones: Nine Voyages, according to Deadline. It will be a direct spin-off of House of the Dragon, focusing on the story of Corlys Velaryon, known as the “Sea Snake” (played by Steve Toussaint). As the head of House Velaryon and the late Princess Rhaenys Targaryen’s husband, Corlys became Hand of the Queen to Rhaenyra Targaryen in Season 2 of House of the Dragon. This happened as their group, The Blacks, fought a civil war against The Greens, led by Prince Aegon and his mother, Queen Alicent.

Throughout House of the Dragon, we’ve learned about Corlys Velaryon, nicknamed the “Sea Snake,” and his legendary nine voyages across the world – including well-known cities from Game of Thrones like Lorath, Lys, Volantis, Qarth, and Asshai. These adventures earned him the Driftwood Throne and the title “Lord of the Tides.” The series begins with him already in this position, and many viewers have been eager to learn more about his past. A new series would explore that backstory.

HBO Wants the Perfect Showrunner For Game of Thrones: Nine Voyages

HBO is working with renowned animator Genndy Tartakovsky on the animated series Game of Thrones: Nine Voyages. Tartakovsky is famous for creating innovative shows like Samurai Jack and Primal, and he also directed the original Clone Wars animated shorts for Star Wars.

Genndy Tartakovsky is known for his striking art deco animation and his unique way of telling stories – often without much dialogue. He relies on visuals, music, and sound effects to convey the narrative, creating memorable moments in animation and continuing the tradition of silent films, which connect with audiences across cultures through universal themes. He’s clearly inspired by classic epic tales, building expansive and imaginative worlds in his shows. These worlds often blend raw, natural settings with elements of the supernatural and science fiction. But even with all the fantastical world-building, Tartakovsky always focuses on compelling characters and stories that are both complex and emotionally resonant.

This sounds like a fantastic idea for an animated Game of Thrones project, focusing on the legendary pirate Corlys Velaryon. His story, Nine Voyages, would be perfect for nine animated episodes or shorts, each detailing one of his adventures – with a possible tenth episode covering his rise to power and meeting his wife. If Genndy Tartakovsky directs, it would be a dream pairing of a beloved creator and a popular franchise, instantly attracting millions of fans. This could be another incredibly successful way to bring George R.R. Martin’s world to life.
