Animation icon Genndy Tartakovsky<\/a> (Primal, Samurai Jack, Hotel Transylvania) is reportedly attached to the long-gestating Game of Thrones animated spin-off series 9 Voyages<\/a>, which will follow the adventures of Lord Corlys Velaryon, aka The Sea Snake. The character is played in the live-action series House of the Dragon<\/a> by actor Steve Toussaint.<\/p>\n

News of Tartakovsky\u2019s attachment comes via Deadline’s interview with Casey Bloys<\/a>, Chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content.<\/p>\n

\u201cHBO has developed a slew of other offshoots, with a number being rumored to be currently in the works, including a Jon Snow<\/a> and Arya Stark<\/a> sequel written by Quoc Dang Tran; an animated Sea Snake project Nine Voyages, with Genndy Tartakovsky said to be attached, as well as 10,000 Ships<\/a> written by Eboni Booth and Aegon\u2019s Conquest penned by Mattson Tomlin,\u201d Deadline reports. <\/p>\n

The site added that \u201cBloys would not comment on any of the alleged GoT development projects but indicated that the success of the smaller-scale, modestly budgeted A Knight of the Seven Kingdom [sic] is informing their development strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

9 Voyages was initially meant to be a live-action show<\/a> from Rome and Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller, but Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin revealed in 2024 that the show had switched to animation<\/a> due to budget concerns.<\/p>\n

“We have moved 9 Voyages, our series about the legendary voyages of the Sea Snake<\/a>, over from live action to animation, a move I support fully,” Martin posted at the time. <\/p>\n

“Budgetary constraints would likely have made a live action version prohibitively expensive, what with half the show taking place at sea, and the necessity of creating a different port every week, from Driftmark to Lys to the Basilisk Isles to Volantis to Qarth to\u2026 well, on and on and on. There’s a whole world out there. And we have a lot better chance of showing it all with animation.”<\/p>\n
