jtuck2003

A Khal Drogo prequel would be cool. Someone who remembers the books better than me can correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like we don't really get a ton of back story on him, at least not compared to some of the other bigger characters


Dangerous-Tap-5561

Omg how slow am I? I always thought it was Karl Drogo until right now reading your comment.


jtuck2003

Karl was his cousin. Not nearly as famous. Lost lots of battles


jtllpfm

Super short hair


shotsfordays

The pony that dismounts the world.


Gertrude_D

Moved to Gin Alley in Westeros. He got in a bit of trouble.


hjhof1

I hear Gin Alley has a fucking legend


madhaus

What he did with cable in the 90s. Huge.


hamfraigaar

But he did go on to have a kid, who made a mean patty. You might've heard of little Karl's junior.


jtuck2003

Bah dum tiss


A_Gringo666

He's the cousin that lives in the city. Karl "Urban" Drogo.


SmartArsenal

You can't lead a hoarde while being named Karl. Not allowed.


Impossible_Werewolf8

Except of Khal Karl, of course, but that's another story... 


Guava_

‘The fiercest warrior in the desert. Kevin’


c0eplank

But you can lead a Karlasar


jinreeko

This does not have my consent


ozjack24

Yeah. Khal is a rank. Like saying “chief Drogo”.


Same-Share7331

Excited to watch Khal Urban in The Boys tonight!


Guava_

For years I thought Hermione was pronounce hermie-one


21stCenturyHobbit

So did Victor Krum


JJDDooo

Lol I thought it was her-my-one


erinlaninfa

That’s Khal Drogo’s alternate life in New England


Wetrapordie

A warlord named Karl is a funny thought.


blueace111

lol I would have as well if I didn’t watch it with CC on


madhaus

That makes Dany the Karleesi.


Surround8600

It’s actually Carrrrl


hbomberman

Out of curiosity, did you think all the other khals were called Karl? Or that Dany was the Karleesi?


Remote-Direction963

Yeah Khal Drogo was a really cool character that deserved so much more screen time. It's a shame we didn't get to know more about him. 


Duney17

Tbh i don’t know how much there would’ve been on him previously. Obviously a khal for at least 4-7 years so some amount of warfare but it wasn’t like he was known for great deeds. The anecdote of him killing a khal and then his son sounds cool until you realize that probably happens every time khalasars clash. He was chosen by Illyrio and Varys because of his numbers. They envisioned a 10k army of mounted warriors landing on the shores. Khal Drogos story ended before it began because of Danny’s childish and naive nature. One of the sadder story points of the series that the show just glosses over.


asaphbixon

How was that Danny's fault? One of his body guards challenged him in open rebellion. He was cut and it became infected


Cautious_Confusion39

Arya post GOT… I need to know if she makes it west of westeros.


CaveLupum

My choice too. A ton of Book foreshadowing hints at the voyage and its success: > "The star of home. Arya stood at the prow, one hand resting on the gilded figurehead, a maiden with a bowl of fruit. For half a heartbeat she let herself pretend that it was her home ahead." AFFC Arya I This is her in the ship's prow looking forward. That scene ended Season 4 and was paralleled in her final scene in Season 8. She is the maiden and following her star. She will be at home, and the voyage will literally be fruitful. Columbus first sailed seven months after the end of serial wars; Arya sailed what seems to be months after the end of serial wars. And thanks to Columbus and his successors, Europe finally got chocolate, tomatoes, potatoes, cane sugar, tobacco, ear corn, coffee, quinine, etc. from the New World. PLUS new sources of gold and silver. Pretty damn Fruitful!


FindusSomKatten

Isnt coffee an old world plant? and quinine is from the andes. Sugar cane is from asia i think.


Bohemond1054

Yep coffee originated around Ethiopia. But only became big in Europe around the same time as discovery of america


FindusSomKatten

My firts thought was why is it called arabica if its from the new world


Bohemond1054

Haha very good, that's smart I didn't think of that


FindusSomKatten

To be fair ethiopia is not realy close to arabia so it was still not a usefull thought


Bohemond1054

It's pretty close? Just across the gulf of Aden (Ethiopia used to go upto the coast) so like max 50km away?


FindusSomKatten

Im gonna be honest with you i am pretty dumb and bad at geography Ethiopia is not where i thought Ethiopia was


Bohemond1054

Well you accidentally came to a very intelligent conclusion hahaha. Next time just own it :P


Gertrude_D

I think the Sea Snake prequel will scratch that same Sinbad itch :)


[deleted]

would be boring as fuck honestly, nobody needs an entire series dedicated to assassin ninja girl with plot armor.


Muderbot

Disagree. I would absolutely watch multiple seasons of Arya off doing doppelgänger assassin shit. Way more interesting then a Jon Snow spinoff where he tracks around some frozen woods.


Frosty_Inevitable475

starks are boring tbh. just revive daenerys, and let her conquer essos again.


PuppiesAndPixels

Westereros


goldschakal

Obviously the New World would take the name Westeros, and current Westeros would become Centeros.


Mousetrap24

The Brotherhoods adventures


Real_Railz

I would like a lot of one shots of these. Not an entire series tbh.


SnoopyWildseed

Arya Gendry: how is he adjusting to his elevated status? Davos: because he's just fun. 🤓


Remote-Direction963

Davos is that one uncle that everyone wants lol.


hjhof1

A smuggling show about Davis leading up to being caught be Stannis could be really good. Han Solo but GoT


SnoopyWildseed

Never tell me the odds! 🤓🧅


hjhof1

Or count my knuckles!


Knuckles_71

Did you call?


InsuranceNo3422

The Sam & Gilly show, done up like a 1950's sitcom but still set in Westeros.


Euphoric-Dig-2045

Sam with a Ralph Kramden approach. Tormund plays a Kramer like neighbor.


valeriebeckett00

Samdavision


Remote-Direction963

Lmao 😂


Bemis5

Dario. Hear me out. I think the Eastern areas were some of the most interesting parts of the show. I’d love to see how his rule in Dany’s stead is going. And if the dragon happens to bring Dany back to Asshai where she is brought back to life by some red witch, I won’t be mad at it.


Jezehel

To be fair, I would love to see Asshai. I'd be here for that


Bemis5

Me too. After reading about in AWOIAF I’m obsessed. They could do a whole show about just that place.


Jezehel

Ooh I have that! Haven't made it all the way through yet. It's the ghost grass, edge of the world thing that gets me about Asshai. Like...why are we always in Westeros when freaking Asshai is right there? And Sothoryos! There's so much more to the world than we've seen and damnit, I want their stories


realbenlaing

I found most of the essos storylines boring after season 3, but i’m so curious about how everything turned out when daenerys left and would like to have heard more of that, as well as how her death would have affected her societal reformations. Could have been interesting to see from the perspective of the people who were actually living in her new world, while still holding loyalty to/grudges against the old.


Duney17

This is a good take. Imagine Daario’s wrath when he finds out that Dany conquered Westeros just to be assassinated by her consort/general, which was SUPPOSED to be Daario until the western lords convinced Dany otherwise. Seeing him lead Dany’s armies against Westeros in a crusade for vengeance and Dany being restored to the throne again would make for a great series. Especially with how the Unsullied would obviously be a threat. You wonder how Bran and Tyrion even deal with the unsullied within their borders given that they have no armies, dragons, or even generals with real war experience. Imagining Bronn trying to lead the army is hilarious, especially because Tyrion would never trust him NOT to turn to Daarios side the second Westeros starts to lose


Duney17

Having a Bronn v Daario fight would also be the sort of thing HBO would blow up and create plenty of drama. Two cut throat brawlers who are better at killing than politics or leading. Both making stupid errors as generals but their sheer viciousness and lack of regard for the rules of war would make a terrific watch.


Bemis5

Yeah, they really made Westeros into a soft target with the ending. The small council and the king are more of a punch line than anything else. 


withoutamapigo

Oberyn


The810kid

I have no interest in any of the characters from the main series getting a continuation to their stories in spinoff form. The history of the world is so rich I'd want prequels instead.


Maleficent-Music6965

The Hound and Ja’quen


Dardoran

This is the answer.


issapunk

I think the answer is - no one. What makes GoT great, the book and the show, is that it is not about any one particular character. A spin-off focusing on 1 person would feel weird and forced to me.


valeriebeckett00

Well for the sake of the hypothetical you could assume it introduces other characters. Like the story is following Arya but we get glimpses into all the lives of people somehow connected to her story.


Gertrude_D

So her shipmates :) We can have guest stars of the week and Arya will use her faceless power to set up unlikely couples who happen to travel on her ship. Maybe a few wacky crew members just for funsies.


Same-Share7331

> I think the answer is - no one. So you agree with OP?


issapunk

oooo I see what you did there


Same-Share7331

Couldn't resist


fox4norris2021

A prequel would make more sense


breedingTaless

Any spin-off that has either dragons or white walker or both I'm in.


hjhof1

Personally I’m the opposite, I want something different, give me Davos before Stannis caught him smuggling stuff, or more on the Faceles Men, anything but more dragons and walkers.


azombieatemyshoelace

Yeah I’m bored of dragons and never liked the white walkers.


LeatherCod4058

Yep they take away from the world building and the political games and just about everything else


EdStArFiSh69

Hodor


notduddeman

I want a snarky buddy cop show with Aria and the Hound solving drug crimes in the 1970s.


theserpentsmiles

Book 'em Doggo!


boston_shua

*smirks at the camera*


Falcons1702

I think a white books series would be interesting they could use an episode or season to go over the lives and feats of individual kingsguard especially some of the lesser known ones that are famous in universe but we don’t know much about


dasttgy

Daenerys resurrection spin off


Ok_Crab1603

Daenerys as Lady Stone Heart


baconbridge92

Sounds awful


Superb-Possibility-9

The Travels of Arya is a show I would watch


Euphoric-Dig-2045

I’d watch a series about The Hound all day.


DiscountNervous3888

Olenna Tyrell prequel please, particularly if they can accurately cast for a young Diana Rigg.


Michael1492

Just use Natalie Dormer.


themug_wump

The Red Woman origin story please.


baconbridge92

That's the only one that I think could be truly interesting. Like yeah we know she doesn't die for a long time, so the stakes are lower there, but there's so much cool stuff she could have gotten up to and interesting people and other things she could have seen. And it could cover hundreds of years of history in different locations.


ta_excavator888

The Night King. The show barely show/explain the what-what of The Night King. He's practically just an ice cold animatron antagonist with piercing blue eyes with cool tricks of aliving the unalived. Intelligent and calculative as well. I want to see what's in his head, his personality, his backstory, his real motivation etc.


FeelingSkinny

Kinvara, Drogon, Daenerys and the red witches


[deleted]

Hear me out: Karl fooking Tanner. I’d love nothing more than a Karl Tanner origin story series that details Flea Bottom and doesn’t just follow the rich families and knights in Westeros. A show about the life of crime and poverty in King’s Landing that follows Karl Tanner would be so interesting to me.


Familiar-Virus5257

Bronn. Pre or post.


aberrystance

Pre would be so interesting. A setting far below and away from castles and high town. Bronn can really move so you know he’d be in so many places and up to so many things


Familiar-Virus5257

YES! And I want to see exactly how he acquired his skills. Seeing him starting out would be fantastic.


SharkBait661

Have him start out as a teen constantly getting his ass whooped. Then like an rpg he meets people, learns skills and upgrades his abilities.


Familiar-Virus5257

Maybe Bronn should be the protagonist of an ASOIAF/GoT video game.


SharkBait661

I'd rather play a game as the king slayer to tell the truth. Final boss battle against the madd King would be dope.


Familiar-Virus5257

ALL THE THIS! I need young knight Jaime through to youngest member of the Kinsguard Jaime Lannister so bad.


Archius9

A ‘Cheers’ like sitcom based around Hot Pie and the inn he works at


KTPChannel

“Browning the Butter with Hot Pie”. Best cooking show in Westeros.


Archius9

I’m imagining like an older Hot Pie who resembles an untattooed Matty Matheson


Duney17

I was thinking Graham Elliot 😂😂 glasses included


benunfairchild

I genuinely think you could make a interesting story following Hot Pie at the Inn. You could even integrate some beats from Gendry's story in the books and maybe have them act as an safe haven for children orphaned by the war and covertly working with the brotherhood all while trying to stay in the good graces of all the warbands in the Riverlands via tasty food. Essentially all the POVs are of nobility and nobility adjacent folk, so I think it would be cool to see the common folk be centered in a story.


jtllpfm

The Adventures of Benjen Stark.  He’s off ranging for months at a time, must have some pretty cool adventures.  


Comfortable-Sale-167

I’d be down for Jaqen as some immortal passing through generations going all the way back to the first men.


Beginning_You_4400

Arya.


RealCleverUsernameV2

Lady Stoneheart.


CursedButHere

Quaith


Technical-Sun-2016

Tormund and Brienne: Big Love


clink51

every episode could be a 45 min animated weekly rampaging through the kingdoms and free cities.


Kriss3d

Arya sequel. She's going beyond.. It would be interesting to see where. Or a prequel with the faceless men would be great. I also have a head Canon that a younger Raven did what Bran did but to the mad king in some way and made him go mad. I'd love to see what happened that made him repeat the "Burn them all" It seems to be a clear reference to the white walkers but it would be nice to see who and how he came to that knowledge.


DisintegrationPt808

jon snow in the north beyond the wall


Headwallrepeat

As crappy as they did Dorn in the show I think it deserves it's own spinoff to rectify the cartoonishness of their characters in GOT


Remote-Direction963

Exactly, I didn't really like most of the personalities of the characters who lived in Dorn. I just thought that they could have been written a little better story-wise.


SteamedCans

Hot Pie 


xTHExJUICEx

Came on here to say this.


Jamesg-81

Bron. Would love a backstory on him. And which house he was from if it hasn’t been mentioned in the books.


MinFootspace

I want to see the story of Oberyn Martell and Lyanna Mormont surviving in a world full of White Walkers.


FizicalPresence

Bronn


SlapHappyDude

I worry that explaining the faceless men too much would ruin the mystery. End of the day the answer is "our God is real and grants us certain magical powers". But it would require some excellent writing to make explaining their goals and satisfying.


Remote-Direction963

Well if we can find good writers to do that, then we can make it happen lol.


TheresAJakeInMyShoe

Varys obviously


TimS83

Jaqen would be a really good one. I have wanted a Valar Morghulis tattoo with the coin for a very long time and just never could pull the trigger on it


[deleted]

the beauty of GoT is it doesn’t revolve around one single person, it’d be like any other show and nobody’s one journey is interesting enough to make an entire show about (speaking specifically for the GoT characters…); absolutely RELIEVED that the Snow spin-off was shelved because nobody needs a whole show about him. however, the prequel spin offs should be good. post-GoT I don’t think there’s much story to tell after D&D destroyed every character arc they could before wrapping up.


BaconBombThief

Arya sailing further west than any before


Klllumlnatl

If a man had a spin-off show, a man would cease to be mysterious.


Remote-Direction963

A man needs to know though, what makes such a man mysterious. A man needs to be provided with more lore. A man must find out secrets.


Klllumlnatl

A man must have good writing, so a man's character is not ruined. A man is not likely to get this. Revealing a man's true name and a man's backstory would ruin a popular fan theory about a man.


Renee_EiEiO

It’s a toss up between the former 3 eyed raven, And Children of the forest, their war with the first men, creating the night king and how he turned on the children.


MooseCentral1969

Paud, I really want to know how he gets those girls swooning and we need a spin off to find out...


Fun_Butterfly_420

Arya


Biishep1230

Can we not just follow Arya on her “what’s west of Westeros” journey? So many options with new fantasy characters we have not explored. Find out why others who have gone and not made it back. All the possibilities with who is now one of the best fighters in the world. Could be “kung fu” style as she travels from town to town on a brand new continent with some overarching villain that is on a new list of hers.


darrylthedudeWayne

Arya sequel spin-off about her adventures West of Westeros would be sweet. Also, I'd love to see an Oberyn prequel show. More Pedro Pascal is always a win.


Lobothehobosexual

Idk about Jaqen. A show with the main character talking in third person would get tad bit annoying And idk who’d be good for spin off, like prequel wise maybe Ian Mcshanes character


aberrystance

Man im just imagining how next level the network head has to be to put together the producers for all these ideas. They would without a doubt be GOT scale and quality


External_Pay_7538

Definitely!!! We barely see him in the books so there’s so much lore to unveil


Accurate-Nerve-5722

I absolutely need to know what’s going on w Arya right now


Remote-Direction963

Everyone does lol. She's in my top five list of Game of Thrones characters that I care about the most.


stardustmelancholy

I think Daenerys in Essos should've been its own series, sailing to Westeros is the series finale, and then she joins the other characters on *Game of Thrones*. There was too much going on with her arcs to properly explore them when she only had a few minutes each episode and wasn't in every episode. GoT s1 is 10 episodes and in her section she travels across the continent and goes from a maiden to pregnant wife to barren widow.


realparkingbrake

I thought they were setting up a spinoff based on Arya's travels. If they wait too long they'll need a different actress.


Remote-Direction963

They seriously need to. I want to see what adventures Arya goes on when she reaches what's west of Westeros.


KNiv1104

Tywin Lannister. The guy was already a badass in the show but I would love to see how he became the man he is.


Crespuculo

My thoughts exactly


kyndal017

Arya NOT Jon.


Aggressive-Pilot8145

Arya. she went outside of westeros and with the skills sets she has I'd like to see her interact amongst the natives


Michael1492

Bron. it would offer so many avenues and areas to explore.


Summum-_-Bonum

I'd have to go with Catelyn after she dies


channi_nisha

I would enjoy a mini series on just Robert’s Rebellion or Aegon’s conquest


syn7fold

I know no one else would want this but a spin-off of Drogon, the Last Dragon. He fulfilled his mother’s promise of breaking the wheel by destroying the Iron Throne so make a spin-off following him roaming the world as the Last Dragon. Like Appa’s Lost Days episode of Avatar the Last Airbender. Show his prospective and other people’s reaction to him when they encounter him. Maybe he could fly past Arya while she’s West of Westeros. Maybe we could see him visiting Missandei’s home island as Grey Worm and the rest of the Unsullied bury her. See Jon Snow and the Wildings in the new true North now that the Army of the Dead is gone. Just a whole show of Easter Eggs and at the end, Drogon finds an entire lost continent of dragons and he spends his last days in peace.


HyronDongle

I am thinking of a GoT cooking program: starring Hot Pie (the large kid)


Habba84

Bobby B


JumpFantastic

I'd watch a show following Bronn from childhood to meeting Tyrion.


blueace111

I agree with OP. Realistically that seemed like a storyline that could have gone many different directions. Arya could spin off into a side quest


fruitlessideas

Just wanted a buddy road trip spin off with Tormund, Davos, and Jon.


Jucko6

Done obviously. They had so much going on in the books. And so much left to happen in show but was just dropped


fox4norris2021

Oberyn and the hound


portazil

Great call with Jaqen! A prequel Spin off for him would be awesome


orderofthestick

Podrick


skinny_squirrel

Bloodraven. It would also be a spin-off of the new show A Knight of Seven Kingdoms. It would have Bloodraven, from the time he was sent to the wall to join the Nights Watch, to when he became the Three-Eyed Raven, and then met Bran. This show could also have Maester Aemon as one of the main characters. Could have the adventures of Howland Reed, and when he met Lyanna Stark. Could also cover the Tournament at Harrenhal and "the abduction" of Lyanna Stark by Rhaegar Targaryen. It could reveal who the Knight Of Laughing Tree is. Have it end with how Bloodraven sent the Dire Wolves to south, so that the Starks would find them.


gogomom

Arya - I know everyone was annoyed she got the plot line she did, but I was intrigued, and would love to check out what she is doing in her travels.


TheMetaReport

Obviously there’s only one answer, Mort the Gaoler. The genius show runners in their infinite wisdom even said that their one regret about their masterpiece was not doing more with him.


jekke7777

Not really a character, but asshai and sothoryos. I wanna see whats there.


Narrow-Psychology909

The onion knight. We could see how he ascended his way to Stannis’ court from Flea Bottom, and it would take us to different places and meet new people to really open up what we know about the Known World. The Adventures of Ser Davos and Lord Salladhor Saan


Agasthenes

None. I'm tired of milking any successful IP dry. Make something original.


VoltronS11

I think spin-offs of how the people from nothing came into the powerful positions we know like Varys or Xaro Xhoan Daxos (Qarth) would be interesting to watch

Unusual_Duck684

Not a character per se but literally any town or organization in Essos. Volantis, Myr, the ruins of Valyria, Mereen, Vaes Dothrak. In retrospect Essos's history (imo) is much cooler than Westeros's. Maybe Melisandre since I believe she was in essso for most of her life.

Extension_Many4418

I completely, completely agree! All of the potential of actually abandoning one’s ego and therefore being able to take on the countenance of others and to do so much good in the world, which seemed Arya’s “calling”, would have been SUCH a good story line!


Acrobatic-Insect1644

Arthur Dayne. He was the finest swordsman who Eddark had ever seen. He served under the "Mad King". You could have made a spinoff about his story as he grew up becoming the finest swordsman ever which would have been loaded with action. The rest of the story could be his time serving the mad king which would have shown a lot of good insight/background on how the "Mad King" became the Mad King


Remote-Direction963

Ser Arthur Dayne's story is kind of interesting to me. He helped in bringing down the outlaws hiding in the Kingswood and defeated the smiling knight. He also won a tourney where he bested Rhaegar in a joust. 


Livid_Ad9749

Many i suppose but it would be hard to have a spinoff centered around one character in asoiaf. Especially around the timeframe of the first show. We would all just want to check in on whomever is alive.
