Game of Thrones Spinoff?

No matter who ends up on the Iron Throne when all is said and done, all eyes will be on HBO and if the premium cabler will find a way to have Game of Thrones soldier on.

The massive HBO fantasy franchise - the premium cabler's most watched show ever - is set for two more shortened seasons before concluding the stories of Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and the others warring for power and freedom throughout the Seven Kingdoms. But when Game of Thrones ends, there's still more story to tell within the world of Westeros, according to HBO programming president Casey Bloys.

"There are so many properties and areas to go to," Bloys told The Hollywood Reporter this week at the Westworld premiere in Hollywood. "For us, it's about finding the right take with the right writer."

As it stands, however, Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will not be those writers. Both Benioff and Weiss made their stance clear at the Emmys this month, when THR asked if they would be interested in running the next inevitable stage of the Game of Thrones franchise.

"You might want to ask George [R.R. Martin] about that. It's a great world George created and a very rich world," said Benoiff. "I'm sure there will be other series set in Westeros, but for us this is it."

"I do have thousands of pages of fake history of everything that led up to Game of Thrones," Martin said at the Emmys. "So there's a wealth of material there and I'm still writing more."
