George R.R. Martin Confirms 3 Series Concepts in Development for HBO, Cinemax

George R.R. Martin revealed in a blog post on Wednesday that he is developing concepts for two previously unannounced series at HBO/Cinemax.

“Life is impossibly busy right now. I am wrestling with the Son of Kong (that is, working on THE WINDS OF WINTER), trying to wrap up a final round of edits and revisions on the twenty-third Wild Cards book (HIGH STAKES), developing three new series concepts for HBO and Cinemax, hiring writers and directors for three short low-budget films I am hoping to produce based on some classic SF short stories (more on that in the months to come), making my way through the Hugo Packet to prepare to vote, looking forward to opening JURASSIC WORLD at the Cocteay and to hosting a ten-author special event for the release of Steve Stirling’s new ‘Emberverse’ anthology, THE CHANGE,” the author said in the “Wars, Woes, Work” post on his blog “Not a Blog.”

The thrust of the post was Martin’s request that “Game of Thrones” fans to stop sending their complaints about the series to him.

TheWrap previously reported that Martin was working on a series entitled “Captain Cosmos” for HBO. That series would focus on a science fiction writer in 1949. Martin would produce the series, with Michael Cassutt writing the pilot.

There are no details available about what the other two shows might be. Representatives for HBO declined TheWrap’s request for comment at this time.

In honor of National Lookalike Day -- and National Four-Days-Until-GOT-Returns Day -- we're reviving this gallery of "Game of Thrones" characters and their pop culture lookalikes. Apparently Craster's sons aren't the only "Game of Thrones" characters separated at birth.

Khal Drogo and Dave Navarro
The Dothraki leader and Jane's Addiction guitarist could have a long talk about shredding with their axes, and each would think the other was talking about something else.

Robb Stark and Henry Cavill
Khal is played by Jason Momoa, who also plays Aquaman. If "Justice League" needs a new Superman, it might turn to Richard Madden, who no longer has a job playing Robb.

Bran Stark and Jimmy Page
This one comes courtesy of our friends at the Bald Move podcast. Both the crippled Stark boy and the Led Zeppelin guitarist come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. Actually, Winterfell may not have hot springs.

Margaery Tyrell and Diana Rigg
Margaery bears a striking resemblance to the "Avengers" actress, who just happens to play her grandmother, Olenna Tyrell. That's great casting.

Jaime Lannister and Prince Charming From 'Shrek'
At some point, resemblances start to seem intentional. Apparently Cersei isn't Jaime's only twin.

Arya Stark and Sarah Hyland
Hyland has a "Modern Family." Arya has a mostly dead family.

White Walker horseman and Gregg Allman
Both blond, blue-eyed longhairs have seen some things, man.

Loras Tyrell and Sam Heughan

Handsome, handsome Sam Heugan auditioned repeatedly for the role of handsome, handsome Loras Tyrell, but the role went to handsome, handsome Finn Jones, who, surprise surprise, looks quite a bit like Heugan. All ends well for Heughan, who scored a great role on "Outlander."
Locke and Kevin McDonald
The hand-removing hunter would seem more threatening if not for his resemblance to the kindly "Kids in the Hall" comic genius.
HBO
Reek and Shaggy
It's hard to say at this point who seems more completely deranged.
HBO/Scooby Doo
Hodor and Glenn Beck
Fact: Both Hodor and poor Beck are able to speak only their own names.
