These are 7 different shows, not House of the Dragon. The Nine Voyages, Nymeria's story 10,000 Ships, a Yi-Ti show, and some other things.
God darned, who cares about the Yi-Ti chinkshit and the Rhoynar 
Wish they'd make a Robert's Rebellion videogame too
"We believe we know four of these projects, Aegon the Conqueror and Ten Thousand Ships as possible live-action entries and The Golden Empire and Sea Snake as possible animated ones, but whether that's still the plan is unclear. Martin previously seemed to say two of four animated shows were scrapped, but that may have now changed.
!bookworms !kino aren't you excited about this Marvelification?
SHOWS ABOUT THE VELARYONS AND NYMERIA OF THE THOUSAND SHIPS AND THE YI-TI 
Yi-Ti show? About fricking who LOL
A fantasy pseudo-Asia, most likely. Why not, shoot it in Japan or Korea with locals, could be great, totally blank canvas.
Lmao, I hope it gets greenlighted because is gonna attract seethe and flop hard. 
ASOIAF is the new Marvel franchise. Literal slop
I hope they have a scene where an Unsullied flies and some guy yells out "they fly now?" and Aeriana Targaryen says "they fly now!"
Not even redditors can't stand it lmao
the "Aeriana Targaryen" was unironically mentioned in HOTD btw

Actually losing money, or Hollywood accounting where every movie loses money for tax purposes?
Jump in the discussion.

This time it looks like really losing money. Costs of making the movie plus marketing are not being made back by box office. Disney got hit hard by this too. A lot of covering it up by "but if we add in worldwide grosses then we made it back" but those didn't come true. This is why Disney keeps making more Star Wars even though each new movie and show is worse than the last, and why the Marvel stuff is still being made: the studios are desperate for one guaranteed big hit.

MCU
That stands for Martin Cinematic Universe
Phase 3 ends with all the timelines collapsing into a big battle, and Phase 4 all the titular male characters have to surrender their spots to female equivalents that nobody likes to see.

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" will probably be good, or at least I'm hopeful. The rest is just A World of Ice and Fire stuff 95% of the general audience won't care for being so disconnected to Westeros and the most popular houses.

I honestly think Martin got bored of his story, but he had set himself up with this Giant Epic and promised more than he could produce. He can't really say "Sorry guys, I'm stopping" but he can't bring himself to finish the darn thing, so he writes all these new characters and different plots and side-books to keep himself occupied and keep the money flowing.
I think he'd love to do the same as Conan Doyle and kill off all the characters, but he's stuck: he set himself up as going to do a better job than Tolkien, going to produce this elaborate world-building but historically accurate and end it all, tying up all the plot threads. Now he's thirty years in to it, fed up of the main story, but he's tangled himself up too much to just be able to say "yeah, not gonna finish this one, I have no idea what happens next".

I read the books thanks to rdrama poster suggestions. The book was great, but I don't understand why they chose the end where shit gets dark and sad to start House of Dragons. I would like a show focusing on Aegon the Conqueror better with a series going into the fight between his sons.

Aegon's conquest was too one-sided, maybe it could work if it was focused on the Dornish war but there's still not much to tell. A miniseries about Maegor's reign could be kino.

Maybe do something like they did with House of Dragons where they have Aegon in later years and move into Maegor. The middle of the book with Janaerys (I think he was the one who reigned for 100 years or so?) would probably be boring but I'm just mad that they started the Targaryan series at the darkest and saddest part of the book. Rhanarya's kid's part of the book is boring too. I know they will drag things out for the money, but I feel like they are already half done with the two seasons they have.
Also, I think these people need to stop taking years between seasons. People lose interest and don't care anymore and then they wonder why their shows don't do well.

A softcore porno sitcom following Aegon and his sister-wives as they try for their first child, learn the ropes of government and navigate the choppy waters of societal attitudes to sister fricking.

Brother-sister pairing during teenage years as depicted in F&B is quite creepy and disturbing when you think about it. Even more than "regular" adult incest which is already disgusting. Amazing how fans just gloss over it as "They're Targaryens so it's ok and normal".
Aegon the uncrowned and Rhaena (they were like 15 and 17 when they got married) or Jaehaerys I and Alysanne for instance, makes me wonder if their parents pushed it during their childhoods.

"In development" just means "we bought the rights so a rival studio couldn't", it doesn't mean they're going to make any of these shows.
I think Tolkien is having the last laugh; he never did manage to get the Silmarillion published in his life time, but after his death, his son and Guy Gavriel Kay managed to put a story together out of the mass of writings he left. Then Christopher Tolkien produced The History of Middle-earth which was every scrap his father wrote but never intended to publish, or divergent versions of what he had already written.
Martin isn't even going to get that much. After he dies, there will be a ton of notes and half-finished drafts and the publisher will hire someone to ghost write the final volume(s) as long as they think they can milk the cash cow. But it won't be a labour of love by someone close to the author who was involved all along, and it'll be competent hack work.
After all the jibes Martin launched at Tolkien way back when Martin was still actually writing the books, I find this very satisfying.

I'd actually be interested in the Yi-Ti one just because it is a blank enough canvass to maybe be original. Maybe.
They'd probably set it during the Bloodstone Emperor, and I'd be down for a psycho mage emperor causing the first Long Night story.
