Game of Thrones, the acclaimed fantasy epic that aired from 2011 to 2019, remains a highly entertaining series for fans looking to revisit its intricate world of political intrigue and grand adventure. For those seeking to watch the series or its associated spin-offs in 2026, all eight seasons of the original Game of Thrones are available for streaming with an HBO Max subscription. Alternatively, individual episodes or full seasons can be purchased through platforms like Prime Video or Apple TV.
The prequel series, House of the Dragon, which delves into Targaryen history 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, is also accessible via HBO Max. New episodes of its third season are currently being released on HBO weekly, with the finale scheduled for August 9. Both seasons of House of the Dragon are also available for purchase on 4K and Blu-ray.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, another spin-off, is also available with an HBO Max subscription. While new episodes for these series are not currently available for purchase outside of HBO Max, bundles are available that can reduce the cost of subscribing. Notably, a bundle including Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max starts at $19.99 per month for the ad-supported version.
For those who prefer physical media, the complete Game of Thrones series can be purchased on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Blu-ray from retailers including Amazon and Walmart.
Beyond the currently airing series, several other Game of Thrones spin-offs are in development, though not all have received official greenlights. Potential projects include a live-action series focusing on Aegon's Conquest and animated series such as 9 Voyages, which follows the journeys of Corlys Velaryon, and an untitled project set in the Golden Empire of Yi Ti. HBO has previously shelved other planned spin-offs, including a Jon Snow series.
On the literary front, George R.R. Martin continues to work on the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. The sixth book, The Winds of Winter, is reportedly 75% complete and is expected to be over 1,500 pages long, moving further away from the television series' narrative. It will be followed by the planned seventh and final book, A Dream of Spring, for which no release timeline is available.
Martin is also writing a second volume of his Targaryen history, possibly titled Blood & Fire, which will cover the subsequent 150 years of their reign. Additionally, Martin has plans for future Dunk and Egg novellas, including one set in Winterfell involving Stark wives and another tentatively titled ‘The Village Hero’ set in the Riverlands. These are not expected to be published until after The Winds of Winter is finished.
