HBO loses $ 30 million to unreleased Game of Thrones spin-off

HBO lost $ 30 million to the pilot of the canceled Game of Thrones spin-off, The Long Night.

This became known from a book about the history of the company. In an effort to emulate IP's massive success, HBO was developing a string of potential spin-offs even before the original series ended.

One of the reasons for the cancellation of the pilot was his quality, which did not correspond to the original series.
