HBO has created a huge mess in the map of the upcoming TV series. In one day, it canceled a series derived from the "Thrones of Conflict" that it announced earlier. This shows how confused the company is after the last season of its most famous series.
Cancel the derivative serial
HBO announced the cancellation of the series it promoted during and after the final eighth season of the conflict of thrones series, a work derived from the original series, and starring Oscar-winning star Naomi Watts.
In May 2017, she announced the development of four separate series of Thrones of Clash, going on at different times in the world written by American writer George R. Martin.
The series did not even get a name, but it is known that its events would take place in the golden age of the heroes, and reviews the horrific mysteries of Westeros, illustrating the true origin of the white infantry, the secrets of the Stark dynasty, and the ancestors of Dennis and Targarian.
The episode has been prepared for the series since June 2018, written by Ryan Condal, who participated in the first five seasons of the original series, and was filmed in Northern Ireland this summer.
In addition to Watts, Miranda Richardson, Jimmy Campbell Power, Josh Whitehouse, Alex Sharp, and Nomi Aki were due to participate in the show, who reported that the project was aborted.
The story of dragons in a new series
HBO seems to want to make a more dramatic dose. The other series is based on George R Martin's book The Clash of Thrones, the book of Fire and Blood.
The series will be entitled "Dragon House" and will take place 300 years before the events of the Thrones, and focuses on the story of the family Algargrian, and the director of the episodes of the original series Miguel Sabochnik directed the episode and the following episodes.
This is Sabochnik's first project as part of the HBO deal, where he will develop and produce content for both HBO and HBO Max, and has in the past directed six episodes of The Clash of Thrones, including popular episodes. Very like "Battle Villains" and "Winter Winds".
The series is expected to consist of 10 episodes, and George R. Martin co-wrote with Ryan Condal.
Condal, who previously co-wrote the three-season Colony series, is currently working on turning Analog into a film for Lionsgate, and was a writer for Hercules, a studio produced by Metro Golden Mayer.
"The Game of Thrones is rich in stories, and we look forward to exploring the origins of Targirian's house and the early days of Westeros with the help of Miguel, Ryan and George," said Casey Plouis, HBO's head of software.
The show's announcement was part of Warner Media's HBO Max presentation, in which they revealed key details about the broadcast service, including the price.
Although the company has already announced several projects related to the Thrones conflict, they all aborted in the cradle, leaving only the new series entitled "House of the Dragon", perhaps due to criticism of many critics and fans of the original series of the last season, and it became a worrying bet , And the company does not want to invest more time and money in series that may not bring the required benefit, especially as it is in a highly competitive market.
