George RR Martin Reveals Another Idea for the 'Game of Thrones' Spinoff Series

George RR Martin revealed that he has another idea for a Game of Thrones spinoff, according to a new interview with The New York Times.

Martin wants to make a show called Spear Carriers, which would take place during the events of Thrones, but would instead focus on select background characters.

“I wanted to do a show called Spear Carriers, which would actually be set during the events of Game of Thrones, but it wouldn’t be following Dany, Tyrion and Jaime,” Martin said. “They would all be there in the background like Hamlet, and it would be more like, ‘Here’s a story about a guy in the City Watch; here’s a story about a prostitute at one of Littlefinger’s brothels; here’s a story about a mummer who’s in town to do juggling and tricks.’ And they all get caught up in the events."

While Martin is fully invested in this idea, he hasn’t been able to fully sell this new concept to the powers that be.

“I haven’t been able to convince HBO that this is a good idea yet, but I would actually love to do something like that," Martin said. "Have you ever seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead? Hamlet is going on in the background, but it’s all about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern."

Martin has hope that he’ll be able to convince those at HBO to follow through with this show.

“I think that kind of show would be a lot of fun to do. Maybe I’ll be able to convince them to do it!”

Personally, this seems like a show that I could get very invested in, especially after the final series of Thrones, which is set to air in April 2019, is over.
