《权力的游戏》第八季将成为最终季的消息发出之后，大家自然而然的就想到了：会不会出衍生剧呢?不过主创David Benioff和Dan Weiss的回答却是：别着急!两人表示除非主创或者马丁大叔真的想到一些需要、也适合做成衍生剧的内容，否则他们不会轻易动笔，一切还是要以创作灵感为重。

　　随后他们还说道，目前《权力的游戏》第六季刚刚开播，第七季和第八季的内容还在策划之中，如何让大结局圆满才是目前的重中之重，根本没有精力考虑衍生剧的事情。

　　On Thursday, it was reported that Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have proposed ending the show with 13 episodes spread over abbreviated seventh and eighth seasons. With the end in sight for the mega-hit series, the next question, is, of course: spin-off?

　　Since it's unlikely HBO would allow such a popular and lucrative series to just expire, and the enormity of the world leaves plenty of room to tell other stories from Westeros, it seems inevitable... But as of right now, there are no plans for a Fear the Game of Thrones.

　　"If that were to happen it would have to come from [Benioff and Weiss] really feeling something, or [author George R.R. Martin] really feeling that it was the right thing to do," HBO programming president Michael Lombardo told EW. "We're always going to be drawn to a strong creative vision. But we are not going to do that unless we feel their passion."
