Ready for a 'Game of Thrones' spinoff? HBO is planning to create a new series and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the new series will explore the interesting story of Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros.

'Game of Thrones' spinoff

Tomlin, who previously co-wrote the Keanu Reeves action comic adaptation BRZRKR and the impending video game adaption Mega Man, is likely to contribute to this new effort. Aegon's Conquest is a direct precursor to the well-received House of the Dragon, telling the riveting story of the Targaryens' ruthless and violent takeover of Westeros.

Expected plot

The plot follows Aegon Targaryen, his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya, and their powerful dragons as they successfully unify six of the Seven Kingdoms in just two years. Dorne remains the only territory that has resisted Aegon's conquering.

Awaited official announcement

While an official announcement is anticipated, this development is part of HBO's ongoing attempts to expand the Game of Thrones realm. Since the end of 'Thrones' in 2019, numerous prequels have been greenlit, including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, which tells the story of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg a century before the original series.
