With only two seasons left for Game of Thrones, fans have been asking whether or not there would be any chance of a spin-off set in the past of the Westeros universe. Executive producer David Benioff has finally answered their queries, but in the negative. “This is it,” he stated. HBO will not be making anything else once the final two seasons have aired. “You might want to ask George RR Martin about that,” Benioff said. “It’s a great world that he has created. I think it’s a very rich world and I’m sure there will be another series set in Westeros but for us, this is it. That’s really a question for George,” he added.
Author of the novels by the same name, Martin will not be quitting the Game of Thrones world any time soon and has shared that fans of the series can still enjoy new material in written form.
“Well, I do have thousands of pages of fake history, everything that led up to Game of Thrones. So there is a wealth of material there and I’m still writing more. At the moment, we still have this show to finish and I still have two books to finish, so that’s all speculation,” Martin shared.
