Game of Thrones meets Downton Abby.

I'd watch it.  A drama about smallfolk in the Riverlands could go well, too, at least until about the fourth episode where everyone is murdered.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

Can't believe I found this out from a source other than Languish. (unless I missed it)

didn't we talk about it in the main GoT thread?
It's not really news in itself, they've been talking about a prequel/spin-off for some time. I'm guessing the spin-off will launch before GRR next book :P

What is news is that they hired writers for 4 script on 4 different shows to evaluate their options.  It is very doubtfull they would launch more than on GoT at any given time.

Kearney's "The Monarchies of God" -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchies_of_God.

Love and Hate, Exploration and Religion, Deaths and Battles galore, magic and walls - and a major smoking gun regarding the central conflict.

Plus the money for the show might get Kearney to revise that last volume which stands out like a sore thumb in the sequence.

Background looks interesting, but I don't want to spoil myself by reading that synopsis. Without spoiling it what's the story about in general terms?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Alternate XV-XVIth century Europe with something like an Inquisition, a dash of magic, werewolves, faux Turkish invasion, the fall of a Constantinople wannabe and a Napoleon/Friedrich the Great figure.

Will that do?

That doesn't really tell me anything about the characters or even the plot.

That's obviously a spoiler.

If I wanted someone to read Harry Potter I wouldn't lay out the backstory and History of wizarding Britain, I'd tell them it's the story of an orphaned boy, who grow up in an abusive family, going away to a magical boarding school to learn to be a wizard. They're he'll come of age, make friends and pursue the dark forces that orphaned him and threaten his new world.
