With so much potential for growth, HBO executives are betting on the Game of Thrones franchise to have enough interest and staying power to develop into a massive interconnected universe spanning the series’ past, present and future, and it will be keeping that franchise all to itself. The release of new series in the Game of Thrones universe guarantees a buzzy new series for HBO Max, bringing new fans to the platform. Watch the latest full episodes and video extras for AMC shows: The Walking Dead, Better Call Saul, Killing Eve, Fear the Walking Dead, Mad Men and more. Martin’s world is incredibly vast, and it makes sense that HBO would want to return to Westeros. Licensing the series to another streamer, especially Netflix, would be a mistake. HBO said that Game of Thrones ' average gross audience of 18.4 million viewers (later adjusted to 18.6 million) had passed The Sopranos for the viewership record. The flagship series ended in 2019 after eight seasons, and. The third season was seen by 14.2 million viewers, making Game of Thrones the second-most-viewed HBO series (after The Sopranos). There are also whispers of animated series in the works, not to mention a Broadway play. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, was one of the most popular shows in HBO’s history. Other projects that are in various stages of development include Tales of Dunk and Egg, 10,000 Ships, 9 Voyages and Flea Bottom. HBO is expanding the franchise with several new spin-offs, starting with House of the Dragon in 2022. Prior to the explosive growth of streaming services, it could have made sense for HBO to join forces with Netflix so that more people could watch the show and potentially be convinced to subscribe to the cable network.
Now that HBO has its own streaming platform, there’s even less reason for Game of Thrones to be Netflix than there used to be.
