There's Another New 'Game of Thrones' Spinoff


We know you’re missing Game of Thrones so much that you’re fighting the temptation to re-watch every episode starting with season 1—but HBO heard our cries and answered our prayers. We’re getting another spinoff miniseries to tide us over until season 8 premiers either next year or in 2018—and it’s totally different than The Game Revealed spinoff we filled you guys in on a few weeks ago. When you preorder the 7th season of Thrones on Blu-ray release (out on December 12th) you’ll receive the mini series bonus disk for free. Best day ever? We think yes.

The spinoff is called Conquest & Rebellion, and it will center around the entire history of Westeros, from the love affairs, the betrayals, the violent wars and the tearful deaths. The sad news is the series won’t feature your beloved Kit Harington or Emilia Clarke or the rest of the cast you know and love, but don’t worry, they’re not getting replaced. The miniseries is animated, and you can get a feel for it by watching the first chapter, titled ‘Valyria’s Last Scion: House Targaryen’ below:

In order to watch the the entire miniseries—and the narrations by the voices of Jaime Lannister, Sansa Stark, Euron Greyjoy, Varys, and Littlefinger—you’ll have to buy the season 7 set. (But let’s be honest, we were going to do that anyways.) We would definitely recommend using this miniseries to help you win GoT trivia and to school all of your friends when they ask about what happened to the rest of Ned’s family.

A New Game of Thrones Spinoff Is Coming to Tide Us Over Between Seasons

Sunday (August 27) may have been the season seven finale of Game of Thrones, but HBO just announced a spinoff so you won’t have to go even one day without Jon Snow. Thank the old gods and the new.

HBO just released the first of a seven-episode, behind-the-scenes series about the latest season, called The Game Revealed, according to Deadline. The series features interviews with cast and crew discussing new information and insights into some of the seventh season’s biggest moments. Basically, it’s like a really long in-depth “Inside the Episode” with a focus on makeup, stuntmen, and production design. Fans can watch the first episode right now on Facebook and YouTube, as well as all HBO affiliate portals. The remaining six episodes will only be available through HBO.

Some things we learn in the first 13-minute episode include how the shocking season opener came about, and exactly what camera and makeup work was done to turn Maisie Williams a.k.a Arya Stark into Walder Frey. They also get into Ed Sheeran’s appearance — the singer is even interviewed for the series, saying, “When I first got the scene and I saw that I was a Lancer soldier and it was with Maisie, I just assumed that we’d all get killed at the end.” Probably smart when you’re dealing with a character who has a list of people to kill. The series also focuses on Daenerys Targaryen’s epic homecoming at Dragonstone and all of the detail work that went into the filming the penultimate season.

So, same time, same place next week?

Harley Quinn and The Joker Are Getting Their Own 'Suicide Squad' Spin-off


After Suicide Squad made over $750 million at the box office in summer 2016, it was only a matter of time before Warner Brothers and DC spun off its best and arguably most popular character — Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn — into her own franchise. And sure enough, in December they announced plans to adapt Gotham City Sirens, a comic series about the badass female villains of the DC universe, into a movie. Now, however, it looks like the Quinn/Catwoman/Poison Ivy-led flick has been put on pause — but possibly for good reason.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Brothers is developing a “criminal love story” for Suicide Squad scene-stealer Harley Quinn and her beloved Joker, played by Jared Leto. Insiders quoted in the piece call the upcoming spin-off “an insane and twisted love story” and describe it as “When Harry Met Sally on benzedrine.” The article mentions it will go into production after filming of the inevitable Suicide Squad sequel is finished as that’s currently being fast-tracked by the studio.

Another interesting fact is that Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are in final negotiations to write and direct the Joker/Quinn spin-off. Those are the same guys who made Crazy, Stupid, Love and the even more sentimental NBC hit This Is Us. So it’s pretty hard to imagine what their take on the — how do we put this nicely? — erratic duo will look like. Will we see Harley and The Joker having emotionally-revealing late-night talks over hot chocolate and popcorn in between bank heists and murders? It’s too bad they already used the title Crazy, Stupid, Love because that would have been kinda perfect for this project.

In case you’re annoyed, thinking Warner Brothers is pushing back a female-led movie to make a love story, we hear you. But according to Forbes, the latter is being made to set up why and how Harley Quinn eventually decides to leave her “Puddin” and hooks up with Gotham’s other resident badass babes. If this was an either/or situation, we’re definitely Team Sirens. But since it sounds like this way we’ll be getting two times the Margot Robbie, we’re going to go ahead and get excited about this announcement — especially if the end result is Harley Quinn breaking free of her abusive ex. She’s way (like, way, way) too good for him anyway.
