After the success of House of Dragons, HBO is gearing up for another thrilling chapter in the Game of Thrones saga. According to exclusive reports from The Hollywood Reporter, the network is in talks with Mattson Tomlin to develop a spinoff based on Aegon’s Conquest.

What will the New Game of Thrones Spinoff be about?

Set as a prequel to House of Dragons, the new series will delve into the epic tale of Aegon's conquest of Westeros. Led by the formidable Aegon Targaryen, alongside his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya, the narrative will follow their relentless quest to unite the Seven Kingdoms under their rule, riding atop their mighty dragons.

Aegon's journey will be fraught with challenges as he strives to conquer six kingdoms in just two years, except the Dorne remaining defiant. The inspiration behind Aegon's quest stems from a foreboding vision, dubbed A Song of Ice and Fire, signaling the looming threat of the Night King and his White Walkers.

Described as a return to the basics of George R.R. Martin's epic tale, the spinoff aims to capture the essence of the original novella, though the exact interpretation remains elusive given the vast and intricate lore of Game of Thrones.
