Prepare for another thrilling journey into the realm of Westeros, as the scripts for “Aegon’s Conquest” are officially in the works. Following the success of “House of the Dragon,” this new prequel to Game of Thrones will go into the epic tale of Aegon the Conqueror’s rise to power.
Writer Mattson Tomlin recently teased fans with an exciting glimpse into the development of “Aegon’s Conquest.” In a celebratory Twitter post, Tomlin shared an image featuring an outdoor table set against a picturesque town backdrop.
On the table lay the tools of his trade: a laptop, a notebook, George R. R. Martin’s “Fire and Blood,” and a trusty mug, hinting at the intense scriptwriting process underway.
When Will Aegon’s Conquest Come Out?
To predict when fans can expect to immerse themselves inside of “Aegon’s Conquest,” we can look to the timeline of “House of the Dragon.” HBO confirmed the latter on October 29, 2019, with its premiere in August 2022. With “Aegon’s Conquest” officially announced in April 2023, a similar timeline points to a potential release in early 2026.
However, the journey to Westeros may be delayed due to various factors. The show promises more epic battles and the majestic presence of dragons, factors that could extend the production timeline.
Additionally, Tomlin stands as the sole announced writer for the series, unlike the multi-writer team of “House of the Dragon” season 1. This could potentially lead to a slower writing process and a longer early development phase.
The possibility of follow-up seasons of “House of the Dragon” could also impact the timeline for “Aegon’s Conquest.” HBO is unlikely to premiere two spin-offs simultaneously, and the success of “House of the Dragon” may secure its premium timeslot.
While “Aegon’s Conquest” remains in its early stages of development, the progress made by Tomlin is a promising indicator that fans may journey back to the Seven Kingdoms within the next three years. Stay tuned for more updates as the saga of Westeros continues to unfold.
