Although "Game of Thrones" is coming close to its series finale, HBO is not done exploring the universe. HBO confirms they are developing four stories with four different writers to "explore different time periods of George R. R. Martin's vast and rich universe."

The premium cable hires Max Borenstein ("Kong: Skull Island"); Jane Goldman ("Kingsman: The Secret Service", "X-Men: First Class"), Brian Helgeland ("A Knight's Tale", "L.A. Confidential"); and Carly Wray ("'Mad Men"). The novelist, Martin, is personally involved in two of the projects.

Editors' Pick

"GoT" showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff will serve as executive producers. "There is no set timetable for these projects," HBO said. "We'll take as much or as little time as the writers need and, as with all our development, we will evaluate what we have when the scripts are in."
