Exciting news from HBO as they join forces with writer Mattson Tomlin to explore the "Game of Thrones" universe in a new spinoff titled "Aegon's Conquest."
The show explores the epic story of the Targaryen dynasty's attempt to conquer Westeros and is set as a prequel to "House of the Dragon." The narrative follows Aegon Targaryen and his sister wives, Rhaenys and Visenya, as they use the power of their dragons to unite the Seven Kingdoms. Aegon's quick campaign sees him overthrowing six realms in two years, despite Dorne's strength as an adversary.
Described as a return to George R.R. Martin's rich fantasy world, "Aegon's Conquest" aims to capture the intense storytelling that made the original series a hit. While details are still scarce, fans are buzzing with excitement at the prospect of revisiting the beloved universe.
With HBO's commitment to expanding the franchise evident in greenlit projects like "House of the Dragon" and "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight," the anticipation for "Aegon's Conquest" continues to grow. Tomlin's impressive track record, including work on projects like "The Batman Part II" and "BRZRKR," makes him a fitting choice to lead the endeavor.
Represented by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Goodman Genow, Tomlin's collaboration with HBO marks a significant milestone in the expansion of the "Game of Thrones" universe. Stay tuned for more updates as development progresses.
