Season 7 is coming to an end, but Game of Thrones is far from over

with the end of the seventh season of Game of Thrones, the Song of Ice and Fire is coming to an end. However, fans need not be saddened by this, because the separation is short-lived, and HBO will launch a series of derivative dramas after the end of the drama.

is it the story of Valyria and Valyria Steel Sword?

as HBO revealed earlier, the derivative series will not steal the limelight and will be released after the end of the eighth season.

Game of Thrones is the most watched series in HBO's history, and given the success of the series, HBO has signed up four famous playwrights to create four prequels, a move that is unusual. George R R Martin, the original author of Song of Ice and Fire, will be involved in the creation of the four derivative screenwriters, but it is uncertain whether all four plays will be adopted.

it is a pity that all the characters already in this fantasy will not appear in the prequel series. Producers D B Weiss and David Benioff are also determined not to be involved in the production of the follow-up series, but to devote all their energies to HBO's new play, the controversial overhead historical drama the Alliance.

at present, everything is still in its infancy, and these four prequels are still taking shape. Jane Goodman, a screenwriter and producer of kick-ass, is currently working with Martin on one of the spin-offs. In an interview with IGN, Goodman gave a lot of ambiguous answers, but she revealed that the spin-offs will live up to the expectations of fans.

Goodman said that for fans of original works and TV series, the content of derivative shows is still traceable. "it's going to be an impressive history for the audience, and I think that's all I can say."

in the original story, the famous event "the Rebellion of Robert" is well known. The war took place 19 years ago, when the Mad King Aerys II Targaryen II killed Eddard Stark's brother and father, as well as Rhaegar Targaryen, and "kidnapped" Lyanna Stark. Robert Baratheon and Eddard rebelled and seized the throne.

there are many speculations that the storylines of the prequel series will be traced back to the decades before the rebellion. But if we continue to interpret Goodman in depth, since it is "the history of the audience's impression", perhaps this conjecture is not correct. The timeline she refers to is still more distant in the past than "Robert's Rebellion".

there is also speculation that the ancient and mysterious city of Valyria will appear in derivative dramas. In Game of Thrones, we saw the ruins of the ancient city through the Immortals Tyrion Lannister and Jorah Mormont. Fans must also be looking forward to seeing the former glory of this amazing city in the prequel series.

No matter which script HBO finally chooses, it won't be on screen until at least 2018 or 2019. However, Goodman said that HBO will not procrastinate on the production of the prequel series: "I think HBO is very eager to broadcast the derivative series as soon as possible after the end of the series, which is why they have been seriously thinking about promoting creation."

We also hope the prequel series won't keep us waiting too long.
