More 'Game of Thrones' Spin-Offs To Be Included in New Deal of HBO & Sky

Game of Thrones is all set and done with no potential return of THAT world anymore. But we also know that one prequel of the world called Blood Moon is in the works for a while and it will be presented soon; however, there is room for more as we know already and they will probably be included in the new renewal deal.

According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Comcast-owned European pay-TV giant Sky and AT&T-owned WarnerMedia's HBO are understood to be on the verge of renewing their long-running programming output deal, which has given Sky access to HBO content for its European territories.  

The companies' previous output deal was struck in 2015 and runs through 2020, covering such hits as Game of Thrones, Succession, and Watchmen, as well as a planned Game of Thrones prequel. Sky has aired shows covered by the deal on its drama network Sky Atlantic in the U.K., Germany, and Italy, which launched in 2011 and is fueled by U.S. fare, including from Showtime.

It is expected that the new deal would ensure Sky gets other Game of Thrones spin-offs, currently in the works, for its markets.

The Sky relationship has meant that HBO hasn't operated a network in Sky's core markets, instead of getting paid for its content by Sky. The renewal likely means that HBO won't launch its HBO Max streaming service in the U.K. and other Sky markets, at least as long as the new deal is in place.
