With Game of Thrones drawing to a close, showrunners’s David Benioff and DB Weiss are turning their attentions to their forthcoming Star Wars project.
Little is known about what to expect from the films, which were announced last year, but it seems like it will come in the form of a trilogy.
This news comes courtesy of HBO network president Casey Bloys who was asked about Confederate, their delayed new series which sparked controversy upon its announcement in 2017.
Speaking to TVLine, Bloys said: “The delay has to do with [the fact] that they were offered three [Star Wars] movies.”
What was known was that the duo’s Star War series “will be separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson” and will be yet another expansion of the Disney and Lucasfilm universe.
Bloys’s detail now hints that, after JJ Abrams’s Star Wars: Episode IX is released this December, we’ll have at least six new films in total to expect over the coming decade.
