I'm kinda shocked tbh, I didn't think there was any way this gets cancelled when it was supposed to one of the big flagships for HBO Max. I think the only surviving spin-off pilot now is the uh...much-awaited Targaryen origin story
Encouraging to see that HBO still seems to be valuing quality over churning things out just because it has a successful brand name. TAKE NOTE DISNEY

TBH I read the Fire and Blood Targaryen dynasty book and some of the stories are better than the actual GoT stories so this could be really good if done right.
That being said no way they have budget for so many dragons.
wait the GOT prequel and the targaryen origins were two different things??
A bunch of prequel/spin-off shit was announced as the show was ending and then the poor ending of the show left things in disarray a bit. So now idk what’s been cancelled and what’s actually happening. But yeah these were two different things
Targaryen origins show is def happening, they released some promo pics the other week and it looks like cheap fan made cosplay
Yeah the Targaryen show is based on the Dance of dragons civil war which pits a daughter against her half brother and all the Houses rally to either side. Lots of backstabbings, usual GoT political intrigue, big battles and numerous of dragon fights take place. It's probably my favourite Targaryen dynasty moment.
GRRM recently signed a massive deal with HBO so I'm sure there's gonna be at least a few more shows coming out. idk tho I'm not pessimistic about it, I love the ASOIAF universe and the show was great while it still had book material to follow, which these shows should also be doing (although following the "history" books will be a lot more flexible than following the actual detailed ASOIAF narrative I guess). So I think there's POTENTIAL at least. And the Olivia Cooke casting instantly makes me wanna watch

I have more faith in the Targaryen Civil war for that reason. The story is fleshed out, both in THe World of Ice and Fire and in a short story form so I expect this to be an epic scale. People are just fed up of GoT because the last few seasons were shit. But if HBO can stay consistent all the way through, this civil war can be spectacular.
