HOTD Creator Wants Next GOT Spin-off To Be About Targaryens Without Their Biggest Weapons

House of the Dragon Season 3 has just premiered on HBO, but program co-creator Ryan Condal already has a blueprint for what the next Game of Thrones prequel series could be. In a recent interview, the veteran television writer opened up about how the fan-favorite fantasy franchise should expand after HOTD, all the while sharing his views on the ongoing GoT spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

While speaking with GamesRadar+, Condal remarked that exploring the reign of the Targaryens when they had lost their biggest weapons, i.e., their dragons, would be an “interesting” spin-off idea.

“The opportunity that I think excites me is to see a story where the Targaryens are still at the height of their power in terms of controlling the kingdom, but don’t have their dragons anymore,” he noted. “We know that from Game of Thrones, where we start with no dragons. Our show has many dragons. But there’s an in-between point where the Targaryens are still ruling as a powerful dynasty. And I think there’s a really fascinating story to be told there, in the fresh wake of our particular period of history: how do you pursue rule when you don’t have the threat of these nuclear weapons at your fingertips, like you did in your recent past? That seems like an interesting place to explore for me.”

In the interview, Condal also showered love on the other running Game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. He stated, “Ira Parker is doing such a wonderful job with that in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” adding, “Game of Thrones was the 1%, we’re the 1% of the 1%! And then Ira is telling the story of the 99%, which I just love, and I think that show shows that you can do different sort of models and tonal explorations.”

While Warner Bros. has yet to reveal whether it has planned another Game of Thrones prequel series. In April, the company confirmed that a movie centering on Aegon Targaryen’s conquest is currently in the works.
