The "Game of Thrones" spin-off about Corlys Velaryon's travels will be released as an animated series

Writer George P. P. Martin, author of the fantasy cycle "A Song of Ice and Fire", shared news about animated projects on the universe of "Game of Thrones". HBO was originally developing four animated spin-offs of the series, but eventually the development of two of them was postponed.

Nevertheless, HBO is now working on three animated series on the universe. The fact that "9 Voyages" — a show about the travels of Corlys Velaryon — decided to release as an animated series, rather than a game series, as previously reported. Martin attributed this to budgetary constraints:

"Budgetary constraints would likely have made a live-action version prohibitively expensive, what with half the show taking place at sea, and the necessity of creating a different port every week, from Driftmark to Lys to the Basilisk Isles to Volantis to Qarth to… well, on and on and on. There’s a whole world out there. And we have a lot better chance of showing it all with animation".

Martin did not reveal what other projects HBO has in development.
