George R.R. Martin shared an update about his Game of Thrones adaptations with HBO. He wrote, “We have moved NINE VOYAGES, our series about the legendary voyages of the Sea Snake, over from live action to animation. A move I support fully.   Budgetary constraints would likely have made a live action version prohibitively expensive, what with half the show taking place at sea, and the necessity of creating a different port every week, from Driftmark to Lys to the Basilisk Isles to Volantis to Qarth to… well, on and on and on. There’s a whole world out there.  And we have a lot better chance of showing it all with animation. So we now have three animated projects underway.”
