- One of the Game of Thrones spin-offs has landed a pilot order at HBO. The yet untitled prequel takes place thousands of years before the events of the current HBO series and focuses on the declining relationship between the First Men and the Children of the Forest that eventually leads to the Long Night and the birth of the White Walkers. This particular project was co-created by GRR Martin, the original author of the books upon which Game of Thrones is based, and Kick-Ass Writer Jane Goldman, who would serve as Showrunner if the series is ordered.

- Though Media Rights Capital's plan to make an expanded Dark Tower universe failed at the box-office with the first film, The Dark Tower, the connected television series is, somehow, still alive at Amazon.
