All 8 Game of Thrones spinoffs in development (Excluding House of The Dragon)
Yes
In fact, I would like HBO to redo seasons 6,7,8 and expand it to 12 seasons.
The crazy thing too is I’m sure that show was a revenue positive for HBO so there must have been a bigger reason as to why they didn’t want to run their most successful show EVER for 10 seasons.
It cost a lot for them to produce, but I agree, it would have continued to make a ton of money. Maybe they thought they could end it at its peak so it never dwindled out? Or contract issues with actors. Most people blame the show writers. They convinced their bosses that they could make a great, successful ending in that last season but really they just wanted to move on to other things (at the time they were contracted for a Star Wars gig. They lost that gig after the final GOT season.) No proof but lots of speculation about that one. It makes the most sense, too IMO.
They also planned to release a ton of spin-off shows … assuming GOT would end with people still loving the universe and missing having time there. But because of how badly the show ended, people were sick of Westeros and everything about it.
I actually think it WAS profitable, to be sure, but some of the key cast wanted to move on (Actors sometimes are tired of performing the same material year after year). I don’t think it was actually cancelled for financial reasons – note we see now they are doing a spinoff. And I actually feel they felt they were adequately concluding it they way they did (but many fans disagree, of course).
