Game of Thrones creators have ruled out any involvements for future spin-offs following the intense backlash that followed the show’s finale.
Season eight of the HBO fantasy drama left a number of fans feeling a little underwhelmed to say the least, which even resulted in a million signatures on a petition calling for producers to remake the last few episodes again.
While the show’s prequel House of the Dragon – starring Matt Smith – was given the green light and is scheduled for release this year, D.B. Weiss insists there is no chance of returning back to the franchise with co-creator David Benioff.
‘It just felt like, for us, it was time to move on and get excited and terrified about building something else — building lots of something else’s,’ he told Entertainment Weekly.
We never saw more ‘Game of Thrones’ shows [as] something that made sense for us to be involved with, given where we were just as people at the time we were done with the original.’
