So, why then, is HBO developing multiple pilots for a spinoff to Game Of Thrones if they aren’t trying to make multiple shows?
Casey Bloys states that this process allows the network to cast a wide net and increase their chances of finding an idea worthy of the Game Of Thrones franchise.
Having multiple writers on multiple projects ensures that whatever is going on behind the scenes is expedited and gets decisions made faster and production rolling.
Even if things are in the early stages, it sounds like HBO is doing all the right things to ensure they get a winning idea sooner rather than later.
