Not only do Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss have no interest in returning to Westeros in a creative capacity again \u2013 they haven\u2019t even watched<\/em> the show\u2019s first spinoff yet.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The two showrunners got candid about Game of Thrones, the backlash to the final season, and their relationship with it now in a new cover story for THR<\/u><\/a>, in which they talked about their upcoming Netflix series with Alexander Woo, 3 Body Problem. In it, they revealed that they haven\u2019t watched House of the Dragon and, while Weiss recently rewatched Thrones with his family, Benioff hasn\u2019t revisited a single episode since the finale.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of Thrones, they said they were pitched a number of other shows, including fantasy ones, but weren’t interested.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really important to move on and put Westeros behind us,” Benioff said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there is such a thing as free money.<\/section>\n

But in perhaps even more surprising news, the duo revealed that they essentially turned down a lifetime of free money. Basically, as THR explains, because of their work on Game of Thrones, they were \u201ccontractually guaranteed producer credits on all future Thrones spinoffs,\u201d including House of the Dragon \u2013 whether they did literally anything<\/em> on those spinoffs or not. And they said no to it.<\/p>\n

Benioff says HBO was \u201ckind of confused\u201d when they turned down that massive chunk of change: \u201cI remember their lawyer saying, \u2018But it\u2019s just money, we\u2019re just going to pay you.\u2019\u202f\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there is such a thing as free money,\u201d explained Weiss. \u201cFor us, if our name is on it, especially that, while being completely detached and uninvolved, it felt like the strain that would come with that hands-off approach \u2014 with its success or failure or anything in between \u2014 was not worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

A Divisive Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not too hard to see why Benioff and Weiss would want to wash their hands of Westeros. After Game of Thrones became one of HBO\u2019s biggest hits ever (and one of the biggest TV shows of all time period<\/em>), the finale and entire final season failed to live up to many fans\u2019 expectations. <\/p>\n

As Laura Prudom put it in her 6\/10 review for IGN<\/u><\/a>, \u201cyes, Season 8 felt underwhelming. But the one thing Game of Thrones has going for it is that even at its worst, it\u2019s generally more ambitious, engaging, and impressive than the majority of other TV shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weiss revealed they went \u201ccold turkey\u201d on reading online feedback, and the last time he googled himself was in 2013. \u201cThe ambient stress level in our lives dropped by about 50\u202fpercent overnight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always hope everyone\u2019s going to love anything you do and it would\u2019ve been great if 100\u202fpercent of people loved it, but they didn\u2019t,\u201d Benioff said of Season 8. \u201cYou can get so bogged down in public opinion that you spend your whole life googling things and trying to find people who felt one way or the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the THR profile, Benioff and Weiss also talked about their scrapped Star Wars movie, which you can read more about here<\/u><\/a>. 3 Body Problem will debut on Netflix on March 21, 2024<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n
