What to know about every 'Game of Thrones' spinoff in the works, including the movie about Aegon's Conquest

House of the Dragon was the first Game of Thrones spinoff series to hit screens. It's adapted from Martin's fictional history of House Targaryen, Fire & Blood, which draws on unreliable narratives and sometimes conflicting first-person accounts. The show was an instant success upon its 2022 premiere, breaking viewership records at HBO and credited with reviving interest in Westeros after the divisive Game of Thrones finale.

DC's 'Lanterns' Is Taking A Page From 'True Detective'

251 Movies Fantasy League Team Names Referenced One Battle After Another

The 2026 box office is up and running with Sam Raimi and someone from YouTube topping the weekend charts. But the people are still heading out to see the likes of Marty Mauser, Judy Hopps, and the late-2025 contingent of films. Both and Avatar: Fire and Ash continue to add on to their exorbitant box-office totals, making me wonder if we should add one more bonus threshold next year for $400 million. Will ponder!
