George R.R. Martin reveals the new working title of Game of Thrones play

It’s the era of spinoffs! How is Game of Thrones supposed to fall behind when all the other shows are getting their own spinoffs? HBO is presently developing a number of spinoffs, the first of which was House of the Dragon, which hinted at the possibility of another series in the works. One of them, a Game of Thrones play, will be hitting theatres very soon.

Game of Thrones play was initially called ‘Harrenhal’

The Game of Thrones play has been a long time in the making, and while it is not clear what it will be about, Martin is clearly very invested in it. He wrote on his blog Not A Blog: “One of the meetings I had in London was with Dominick and Duncan, the director and scriptwriter of our own stage play, the one we have been working on for the past few years.

Originally we were calling it HARRENHAL, but we have now settled on THE IRON THRONE as a title… until we think of something better. Regardless, things are coming well, I think, and we are hopeful of being able to open in late 2024. Maybe. But you never know. There’s still a lot of work to be done.”

George R. R. Martin met up with Maisie Williams

On his recent trip to London, Martin caught up with a lot of his old friends, including Game of Thrones alum Maisie Williams (Arya Stark). He wrote, “Also got to spend some time over there with friends old and new: Lisa Tuttle, Paul Cornell, Meredith Glynn, Jane Johnson, Mark Lawrence, Maisie Williams.

A lovely trip, all in all. We even got to see some fireworks on the Fifth of November.

But now I am back, and there is so much work to be done.”
