Game Of Thrones Creators’ Next Show: An America Where Slavery Still Exists

Hank Berrien

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the showrunners for HBO’s massive hit Game of Thrones, have plans for the next series they want to helm for HBO — an alternate history series titled Confederacy, which would explore what would have happened if the South had successfully seceded from the Union and slavery still existed.

The story would be set during what the authors call the Third American Civil War, with characters from the North and the South. One group depicted would be a slave-holding corporation and the families under their thumbs.
