NEW YORK: The hit “Game of Thrones” series may be expanded to animation in a new series for streaming service HBO Max, according to an international fashion magazine.
According to Hollywood Reporter, HBO Max has reportedly met with several writers to hear pitches but no deals have been finalised. An HBO spokesperson refused to comment on the report.
Game of Thrones, based on novels by George R.R. Martin, became a global phenomenon and won 12 Emmy awards. The show ended its run on HBO in 2019.
Executives have been working to develop new programming in the franchise as they compete with Walt Disney Co, Netflix Inc and others vying for streaming viewers.
HBO is currently working on a spinoff series called House of the Dragon, which will take place 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones. That series is expected to debut next year.
