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 :#marseyeyeroll:

Wish they'd make a Robert's Rebellion videogame too

:#marseysoyswitch:

"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 :#marseysoyhype:

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. :#marseychingchong:

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

:#marseyxd: the "Aeriana Targaryen" was unironically mentioned in HOTD btw

"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.
