HBO plans a Game of Thrones spin-off starring Arya Stark in Essos, with Quoc Dang Tran as writer, after canceling a Jon Snow sequel.

HBO is developing a Game of Thrones spin-off centered on Arya Stark, set in Essos and in early stages with writer Quoc Dang Tran attached, following the cancellation of a previously planned Jon Snow sequel due to its bleak tone. Kit Harington has declined to return, citing mental health concerns, and George R.R. Martin has noted his books will diverge from the show’s storyline. The project remains unconfirmed, with no casting or official greenlight yet.
