Brian Helgeland was one of the writers working on a Game of Thrones spinoff that George R.R. Martin signed off on but one that HBO did not pick up.

Although the premium cable network didn’t order the script to series, Helgeland doesn’t lose hope, saying, “My work is still there if HBO wants to pick it up. I enjoyed my time developing it, and you just
