Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming, ruled out the possibility that Game of Thrones would have a sequel in the future. The focus will be on exploring unexplored corners of George RR Martin's expansive universe. This leaves the fans in the hope of a spin-off of Arya Stark.
Bloys told Deadline that he wanted Game of Thrones to be a work of art in its own right. "I wanted to go through the last season and let it be a cultural moment. The pilot project starts in June and we will decide if we want to do another one or not. I let these things happen before we decide to do another one or not, "he said, referring to the prequel pilot starring Naomi Watts in the lead role, directed by SJ Clarkson and written by Jane Goldman.
Bloys said he does not want to "exaggerate" with more Game of Thrones. "I think Game of Thrones is a fantastic property, but I do not just want to be home to prequels, sequels and all that stuff. I think you want to be very careful about how you do it. That's why we've been working on the Jane pilot project for a long time because we want to do it right. I think the last thing fans would like is something that has been hurriedly thrown away.

George RR Martin had written in a recent blog post that he had several possible pilots at various stages of development on HBO. Bloys said he understood the desire to create more stories featuring the characters that fans love – especially Arya Stark – but he instead wants to focus on unexplored corners of the universe. He said, "I understand where it comes from, I totally understand. But in terms of wanting to be careful not to overdo it or kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, the show of Dan and David as it's presented in eight seasons, I want leave it as it is a work of art and not have shows directly, that Arya do that. I think it's best to try the prequels in other areas of George's gigantic universe – it just feels like the right thing to do, to let the series get by all alone. "
Game of Thrones ended its eight seasons with a discordant finale, which Bloys said he had planned.He said," To tell you the truth, for such a big and sprawling show and for such a pbadionate show, I do not think all fans can be happy, depending on the online reaction you have to take with a grain of salt, it seems divided and I think it's about right: some people will love it, others will hate it, but the fact is that everyone is really pbadionate about it.
