The world of Game of Thrones continues to expand, and we might have new releases even before we get The Winds of Winter. As George R.R. Martin announced, he has been very busy trying to juggle writing and attending to his other commitments, this being the planned live-action spinoffs.

With so many narratives to choose from, it’s not a surprise anymore that we might get at least 10 projects, as revealed by Westerosies on Twitter:

Eyes of Wakanda has just premiered on Disney+, and it changes everything we thought we knew about Marvel Studios' Black Panther franchise.

The series follows multiple characters throughout history as they attempt to retrieve and return powerful artefacts to the isolationist nation of Wakanda. In the finale (which is set in 1896), we're introduced to a Black Panther from 500 years in the future, played by Anika Noni Rose.

The future Queen of Wakanda has travelled back in time because Wakanda and the world have fallen to the alien Horde. She warns Prince Tafari and Kuda that the Vibranium axe they've tracked down must not be returned to her home. By leaving the axe out in the world, it will one day be stolen by Erik Killmonger, drawing T'Challa out from the shadows and ultimately leading to Wakanda revealing itself to the world.

By changing history, Earth now stands a much greater...

HBO announced that filming is officially underway on the third season of House of the Dragon back in April, and we now have some fairly late casting news that fans of George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood have been eagerly anticipating.

Deadline reports that Annie Shapero will play Alysanne Blackwood, aka Black Aly, in season 3. In the source material, Blackwood is a mighty warrior who ends up siding with Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) in the Dance of the Dragons before marrying Lord Cregan Stark (Tom Taylor.)

In the season 2 finale, Rhaenyra and Daemon (Matt Smith) put their differences aside and joined forces as they prepared to launch a full-scale attack on King's Landing.

We'll be meeting quite a few new faces in season 3, with James Norton (Happy Valley) previously joining the cast as Ormund Hightower, along with Tommy Flanagan as Ser Roderick Dustin, aka "Roddy the Ruin," and...

House of the DragonSeason 3 has finally cast one of the "most fierce" warriors from George R. R. Martin's best-selling work. As filming for the highly-anticipated third season of the Game of Thrones prequel continues, it has now been revealed who will be playing a legendary character from the saga.

Deadline reports that Annie Shapero (Red Skies) has been cast as Alysanne Blackwood in House of the Dragon Season 3. She will not be a series regular, but is expected to appear in five episodes of the upcoming season. The character plays a key role in Fire & Blood, so fans of the book have been waiting for the casting for quite some time. Details remain scarce on the upcoming season, but Shapero will make her debut as Alysanne when House of the Dragon returns to HBO sometime in 2026.

Alysanne "Black Aly" Blackwood is an important character from Fire & Blood, and could...

Over the last two years, Marvel’s television slate faced a whole lot of shifting, followed by an entire revamping of its structure, and it seems to have finally found its groove. And there’s still quite a few shows on the horizon.

According to Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum, the studio is now “thinking about television really more like traditional television” — which in some cases means multiple seasons. “Loki,” “Daredevil: Born Again” and “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” are so far the only series to get more than one, though Winderbaum offered hope for “Agatha All Along” and “Hawkeye.”

In the meantime, it’s hard for anyone to keep track of all these series in their head. So, we went ahead and compiled a list for you of every confirmed Marvel TV show currently in the works to premiere on Disney+.

Below, you will find all the information we have...

This Friday, Marvel Studios/Marvel Animation releases all four episodes of Eyes of Wakanda, a Black Panther prequel series set in the McU's distant past.

While there's a lot of excitement to see the world of Wakanda expand with this story about the Hatut Zaraze, easily the most intriguing part of the show is Marvel Studios' plan to introduce a new, female Iron Fist (generations before Danny Rand inherits the mantle).

We still don't have a name for the Iron Fist who was first spotted in a new trailer and character poster released yesterday, but Jona Xiao is now confirmed to be voicing the character in Eyes of Wakanda.

The actor broke the news on Instagram, writing, "So stoked to reveal I’m playing the MCU’s 1st ever female Iron Fist! Catch Marvel's 'Eyes of Wakanda,' dropping on Disney+ August 1st!"

Xiao is no stranger to comic book adaptations,...

Welcome back to the vibranium-rich world of Wakanda as Disney+ unveils the trailer for Marvel Studios’ new animated spin-off, Eyes of Wakanda. The show comes from Todd Harris, who serves as showrunner and director, and he said Marvel let him go “hog wild” on the series. Eyes of Wakanda is a collection of short stories from different time periods of Wakandan history, which Harris refers to as “anthology adjacent.“ The new show is set to be a four-episode limited series that debuts just around the corner, now on August 1.

The series will feature the voices of Cress Williams (Black Lightning) as the Lion, Winnie Harlow (America’s Next Top Model) as Noni, and Anika Noni Rose (The Princess and the Frog) as one of the most “crucial” characters.

Marvel's Eyes of Wakanda animated spin-off anthology series will be taking viewers back to the titular nation much sooner than expected. In an exclusive conversation with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Todd Harris confirmed that all four episodes, which were originally set to premiere on August 27, will now arrive on Disney+ on August 1. It's a big shock considering the team hasn't gotten a ton of chances to speak out about the project, and all that's been seen so far is a short teaser. Moreover, the news is a nice update to tide fans over since Marvel decided to skip San Diego Comic-Con this year.

Harris has been hard at work conceiving Eyes of Wakanda since back when Ryan Coogler debuted his first Black Panther movie starring the late Chadwick Boseman in 2018. It wasn't until the Annecy International Animation Film Festival earlier this year that he finally got the chance to show off...

The cast and crew of House of the Dragon have been filming the third season for a while now, and we've gotten an eyeful. For a while we watched them film the Battle of the Gullet, a naval action sequence that will likely kick off the season. At it looks like they're still picking up shots from that scene, if these new photos from House the Dragons are any indication:...

Eyes of Wakanda showrunner Todd Harris recently offered some insight into Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ animated series. The show serves as a prequel to Ryan Coogler's blockbuster Black Panther film franchise.

Speaking to SFX Magazine via GamesRadar+, Harris explained that Eyes of Wakanda drew inspiration from thecreative team's favorite movies. "We were firing on all cylinders, making up stuff, and then money, time and reality makes you focus and harness what we got," he said. "We picked our favorites of our favorites. I would say they're a love letter to some of my favorite movies. If you like Conan The Barbarian, if you like Gladiator, if you like Jackie Chan movies, if you like Terminator, if you like Predator, they’re going to serve a bit to that all over the place."

Harris also opened up about the new show's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, confirming that if...

The cast and crew of House of the Dragon continues to film season 3. They're shooting a lot of stuff, but we've seen them work especially hard on a major action sequence set to kick off the new season: the Battle of the Gullet, where ships and dragons mix it up near the island of Driftmark.

Without giving too much away, the Battle of the Gullet is a major clash between House Velaryon on the one hand and the Triarchy on the other, with the Velaryons fighting for Queen Rhaenyra and the Triarchy pirates sailing for King Aegon II. Obviously, dragons also get involved, because what else did you expect on this show?

Game of Thrones never featured a major navel battle, so this is a chance for House of the Dragon to break new ground. Showrunner Ryan Condal has called the Battle of the Gullet "probably the most complex sequence...

HBO is currently filming the third season of House of the Dragon, and we're getting a close-up view of a lot of the action. Tons of reports and set pics have been leaking lately as the show films on location in Wales and England, and the flood hasn't stopped. Beware Spoilers beyond this point!

A lot of the on-location filming in Wales has involved the Battle of the Gullet, a huge naval battle that was originally supposed to serve as the climax to the second season of the show. It's now been pushed to the start of the third; expect to see it in the premiere episode.

The Battle of the Gullet involves a clash between a fleet led by Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) on the one side and a fleet captained by Sharako Lohar (Abigail Thorn) on the other; Corlys fights for Queen Rhaenyra and Lohar on behind of her rival King Aegon II.

"Wakanda is a kingdom of many secrets..." Marvel has revealed a first look teaser for their next upcoming animated series titled Eyes of Wakanda, a Marvel Animation presentation. The new series is developed by Ryan Coogler and Proximity Media, to connect it back to Black Panther, and is showrun & directed by artist Todd Harris, best known as a storyboard artist for many movies. "Wakanda's secrets span centuries." In the series, the Hatut Zaraze, Wakandan warriors, carry out dangerous missions around the world to retrieve vibranium artifacts throughout history. Starring the voices of Winnie Harlow as Noni, Cress Williams as the Lion, along with Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Zeke Alton, Gary Anthony Williams, Steve Toussaint, and Anika Noni Rose. This is barely a 30-second teaser that doesn't reveal much yet, but it does look quite good. As expected having an artist making this series.

The first look at Eyes of Wakanda, the new Black Panther spinoff from Disney+ and Marvel Animation, is finally here. The series, made up of four animated episodes, is set to premiere on August 27th. Fans now have a chance to see the exciting new adventure through the official sneak peek and images that were recently released.

Todd Harris, the showrunner and director, gave some hints earlier this summer about what the show will be like. Now, the story and characters are becoming clearer. Eyes of Wakanda follows a group of brave Wakandan warriors called the Hatut Zaraze. These warriors take on dangerous missions across different time periods to recover stolen Vibranium artifacts from Wakanda’s enemies.

The voice cast features some familiar names. Winnie Harlow, known from America’s Next Top Model, voices Noni, a key character. Cress Williams, famous for Black Lightning, plays the Lion. Other voice actors include Patricia Belcher,...

HBO is in the thick of filming on the third season of House of the Dragon, and we're getting a lot of up-close looks lately; that's what happens when you film on location and there are curious shutterbugs in the area.

Today we have some of the most interesting images yet. They seem to concern a major action sequence called the Battle of the Gullet, which we're likely to see very early in the new season. Be warned that there will be Spoilers for George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood from here on out.

Season 2 ended with a bunch of armies and navies on the precipice of conflict. Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) boarded his flagship along with his illegitimate son Alyn of Hull (Abubakar Salim), ready to patrol the seas and fight for his queen, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy). Meanwhile, Tyland Lannister (Jefferson Hall) sailed across the Narrow Sea...

HBO is filming the third season of House of the Dragon as we speak. The second season ended on a number of cliffhangers. Alicent Hightower planned to betray her children and help Rhaenyra Targaryen take King's Landing, Corlys Velaryon's fleet was about to engage a pirate fleet led by Sharako Lohar, Aemond Targaryen was setting out for Harrenhal hoping to take on his uncle Daemon, and more.

And then there was Rhaena Targaryen, Daemon's daughter played by Phoebe Campbell. She was sent to the Vale to watch over her younger half-brothers, but left them in the season 2 finale to chase a wild dragon living in the area. We left her just as she found it.

Now, we're getting reports about the next leg of Rhaena's journey. According to House the Dragons, Phoebe Campbell was filming recently in Capel Curig, Wales alongside Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen) and Clinton Liberty (Addam of...

The cast and crew of House of the Dragon are deep into filming on season 3, which promises to have some majorly impressive sequences. First up is the Battle of the Gullet, a ship-to-ship battle that will also involve dragons, because of course it will. This battle was actually originally planned to serve as the climax of season 2, but it got bumped to the beginning of season 3 after Warner Bros. Discovery reduced the show's episode order. Now, cast and crew members are talking up this navel battle like it's going to be the most epic thing ever put to TV, and we hope it will.

Without getting into major spoilers, the Battle of the Gullet is fought between the Velaryon fleet, owned and operated by Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint); and a pirate fleet captained by Sharako Lohar (Abigail Thorn). Remember that, at the end of season 2, Tyland Lannister (Jefferson Hall) convinced...

Marvel Television's Eyes of Wakanda animated "anthology adjacent" series recently premiered its first episode during a panel at the Annecy Animation Festival, with director Todd Harris dropping a few hints about what's to come during a post-screening Q&a.

The show is set to follow several Wakandan warriors over the 10,000-year history of the fictional nation, but it seems we will also travel into the future in one of the four episodes.

Possible spoilers ahead.

Scooper Mttsh has revealed a list of the main and supporting characters we'll be introduced to in the series, and it seems Eyes of Wakanda will feature the MCU debut of a future Black Panther known as "The Intruder."

Some House of the Dragon fans have been hoping for a romantic twist between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower. Since the show started, people online have shared theories and pointed out scenes they think hint at something more than friendship.

One of the biggest moments that sparked these ideas came in Season 2, when Alicent asked Rhaenyra to run away with her.

But it looks like the actors playing them don’t see it that way.

Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke, who play Rhaenyra and Alicent, were recently part of a video on Entertainment Weekly’s YouTube channel where they responded to fan theories. When Cooke read out the idea about Alicent and Rhaenyra possibly having romantic feelings for each other, both actors couldn’t help but laugh. The theory clearly caught them off guard.

Eyes of Wakanda animated series is set to debut on Disney+ at the beginning of August, and a major character from Marvel Comics is set to debut in the series. Little is known about Eyes of Wakanda at this time, other than it will follow Wakanda warriors throughout history, traveling the world in search of stolen vibranium artifacts. Steve Toussaint (House of the Dragon) will also have a voice role in the series. Earlier today, Collider’s Steve Weintraub attended the Eyes of Wakanda panel with Todd Harris at the Annecy Animation Festival, and he confirmed that one Defender from Netflix’s Marvel universe will have a role in the show. Here’s the kicker: it’s one we haven’t seen make their MCU debut yet:

The Annecy International Animation Film Festival, the world's foremost event celebrating all forms of animated cinema, is officially in full swing in Annecy, France. Founded in 1960, this annual gathering draws thousands of industry professionals and enthusiasts, making an Annecy award a coveted honor in the animation world.

And this year, fans are getting a thrilling peek behind the curtain of Marvel's enigmatic Eyes of Wakanda animated series, set to premiere on Disney+. Series creator, director, and executive producer Todd Harris is on hand at the festival for a special screening and a Q&a session, offering fresh insights into the highly anticipated project.

The fact that Marvel is bringing Eyes of Wakanda to such a prestigious event signals their confidence in the series, which looks to deliver a deeper dive into the rich history and untold stories of the technologically advanced fictitious African nation.

Per Variety, we now have intriguing...

The Black Panther franchise is expanding this year with the upcoming Disney+ series Eyes of Wakanda, which follows Wakandan warriors retrieving stolen artifacts across different time periods. The animated anthology series will directly connect to the film franchise, also spearheaded by executive producer Ryan Coogler. However, it will also introduce new bits of MCU history and characters, including what appears to be a new version of a Marvel superhero that previously made his debut in a Netflix series.

During the Annecy Animation Festival (via Variety), Eyes of Wakanda creator and showrunner Todd Harris confirmed that the animated series will re-introduce a superhero that made his debut during the Netflix era of Marvel Television. “There will be an Iron Fist in here, and not the Iron Fist you expect," Harris stated. Finn Jones (Game of Thrones) previously played Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, in the Netflix solo series as well as the crossover event,...

It's been nearly a year since the second season of House of the Dragon wrapped up on HBO, and we probably have at least a year to wait before the third season airs. That's a bummer, but Entertainment Weekly is keeping us entertained with a new video of the cast members responding to various fan theories. There's nothing terribly substantial in here, but it is pretty entertaining:

So what theories do they hit?

Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower will have a romantic relationship

In George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood, Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower are on opposite sides of the Dance of the Dragons, a bloody sectarian conflict that tears apart the ruling family of the Seven Kingdoms. On the show, they're working together, and some fans think they'll go further than that.

Amusingly, the cast members seem to have a hard time getting their heads around the...

Matt Smith recently broke his silence about a major fan theory surrounding his character in House of the Dragon. The critically acclaimed Game of Thrones prequel series has been renewed for a third season.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Smith was joined by the rest of the main cast of House of the Dragon to debunk some of the wildest fan theories. One of these theories involves his character of Daemon, speculating that he will be linked to the Three-Eyed Raven after Season 2 saw him witnessing Aegon's Dream, a prophetic vision that kicked off Aegon's Conquest and the Targaryen's dynasty in Westeros. "Interesting. I'm not--i...I hope so," Smith said, choosing his words carefully. "Good one. I like that."

The identity of Game of Thrones' Three-Eyed Raven remains a mystery in the HBO series, but the books do tell fans who the character might actually be. In the books, the...

One of the biggest Game of Thrones theories was just addressed by the cast of House of the Dragon, and some of them think it makes sense. After the groundbreaking fantasy series came to an end in 2019, HBO quickly began developing Game of Thrones spinoffs, the first of which became the critically acclaimed House of the Dragon, depicting the civil war known as the Dance of Dragons that nearly destroyed House Targaryen generations before the flagship takes place. Characters who are maesters — scholars and doctors in Westerosi society — continue to appear in House of the Dragon as advisors to the royal family.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, when asked about the long-standing conspiracy theory that the maesters orchestrated the downfall of House Targaryen and magic over the centuries of their rule, the House of the Dragon cast was mostly on board. Cast members including Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra Targaryen), Olivia Cooke...

The contest for the Iron Throne will be going up another notch when House of the Dragon Season 3 finally premieres. Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), and her half-brother Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) will each continue to press their claim in a contest which has already cost each side dearly. House of the Dragon is based on the Targaryen historical accounts in George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood and work is already underway for the third season. Showrunner Ryan Condal leads the charge to develop the coming season, and while we are certain that the Battle of the Gullet looms in Season 3. Condal teases that the naval clash won't be the only major event audiences will get to see.

Speaking to Josh Horowitz on Happy Sad Confused, Condal teased that Season 3 will adapt four major events from Martin’s novel, Fire & Blood, as it works towards being even bigger than the second season.

What Do We Know About the various Game of Thrones series in development at HBO? More than you may think. With House of the Dragon heading into its third season and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms coming in 2025, there is a lot still developing from the world of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy realm. From plot, casting news, and more, let’s dive in and look at what is coming up in the new additions to the Game of Thrones franchise.
