Before we talk about the series…. 3r3f2z
Game of Thrones it's not over at once. After all, there are still George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books on which the HBO series was based. This means that the ending we got to the series is not necessarily the ending the creator intended to end the saga. Not to mention that in the books there are more characters, more plots and all the dragons are still alive.
After all, the series had to be wrapped up in six episodes. In the books, Game of Thrones will have two more, with more than 3000 pages according to Martin. Although he's still working on the sixth and hasn't even started the seventh, he assured that A Song of Ice and Fire will have seven volumes to finish the trajectories of Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Arya, Sansa and all the other characters.

Starring Henry Cavill, the series was scheduled for 2020, but the producer confirmed on Twitter that the first season, which will consist of eight episodes, will be released later this year, although it does not yet have an official release date.
Watchmen 4k4c3l
Like The Witcher, the HBO series based on the Watchmen comics has yet to debut. But the alternate world in which superheroes are treated as villains that emerged in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' comic books is being tackled in a new way in the new HBO series.
Announced in June 2017, the series aims not to be a remake of the movie that has already been made, but a new story set in the fantastic universe created by Alan Moore. In a open letter published on his Instagram in May 2018, the producer Damon Lindeloff stated that they intend to do something new with the characters from the original comic:
“The original twelve volumes are like our Old Testament. When the New Testament came, it didn't erase what came before. And so it will be with Watchmen. The Comedian died. Dan and Laurie fell in love. Ozymandias saved the world and Dr. Manhattan left him after blasting Rorschach in the freezing cold of Antarctica. To the point, Watchmen is canon. The story will be set in the world that its creators painstakingly built…. but in the tradition of the work that inspired it, the new story must be original.”
Damon Lindelof, series producer
Bonus: Bloodmoon 225339
But calm down, Game of Thrones fans, we still have the spin-off series to look forward to. On George RR Martin's blog, the author talked about how he's been working on Game of Thrones spin-offs (he doesn't like the term "spin-off"). And one of them is already being recorded. Those who work on the set in Belfast, where filming is taking place, are calling the series Bloodmoon.
However, George RR Martin called this new series, which will address about 5000 years before the events of Game of Thrones, The Long Night. The name sounds familiar because it's the same name used to name the great Battle of Winterfell in the third episode of season eight, when our heroes fight the Night King and his army of the undead.
Will the series then address the emergence of the Night King, his first attack, and his fight against the First Children. According to HBO, as reported by with the BBC, the series will show “the chronicles that took place after the Golden Age of Heroes and reaching into the darkest hour”.
The cast includes Naomi Watts, Miranda Richardson (who played Rita Skeeter in Harry Potter), John Simm (the Master in Doctor Who) and Georgie Henley (Lucia in The Chronicles of Narnia). According to the Hollywood Reporter, HBO executive producer Casey Bloys said that there is no premiere date yet, but that there is a great possibility that it will be in May 2020. That is, it is not even that long.
