Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss' time at HBO will soon be coming to a close.

The duo, who created and served as showrunners on the premium cable network's mega-hit Game of Thrones,are inching closer to a new overall deal elsewhere as they continue to take meetings across town and narrow the field for their new home. Sources say Benioff and Weiss have had meetings for a sizable overall deal with Amazon Studios, Netflix and, more recently, Disney/FX. Representatives for all media companies declined comment as a deal is far from done.

Sources say Amazon Studios had been the front-runner up until the past two weeks, when Netflix re-emerged with a competitive offer. Disney has also entered the conversation more recently as some say the new super-sized Mouse House could be offering a TV deal with FX Productions to go alongside a film pact with the company. Benioff and Weiss are already in business with Disney and are working on a Star Wars trilogy for Disney-owned Lucasfilm.

Sources say Benioff and Weiss are seeking a deal worth as much as $200 million as they seek to top the $150 million pact Westworld creators Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan signed with Amazon back in April. Joy and Nolan's five-year agreement is estimated to be worth in the $30 million/per year territory. When factoring in payouts from Warner Bros. TV to remain showrunners on three additional seasons of HBO's Westworld, Joy and Nolan's deal clocks in at $200 million.



imagine creating the shit show that was season 8 and then being courted with a $200m+ deal for your next projects. Maybe we need socialism after all

Just realised, that I have not watched the last 2 episodes yet. Reading about it was entertaining enough I guess. Maybe when I am hungover.

Not even then.

It's kinda like jerking off just because you haven't jerked off in a while and think you probably should. Because who goes a week without jerking off? I mean honestly.

Nah... don't.

Who the fuck would contemplate giving these idiots jobs after what they did?

Someone had to have been holding their hands the first 6 seasons for how badly they fucked up the last 2.

To be fair, they did produce 50-odd episodes of great shit. They definitely failed at the outro, but they really nailed the initial landing and kept people hooked for f'n -years-.

Yeah as long as they were able to paint-by-numbers GRRM's average writing they did fine.

In no way am I invalidating that. But if I was an exec and I was looking for someone to prop something up? Those guys did a lot. They 100% fucked up the ending, but they nailed that initial ride for at least half a decade.

i would hire those guys to make a show for me so long as they had next to zero input on the script, i suppose.

Yeah when you consider their ability to produce. That's what their value is.

I mean GoT had filming locations shooting in completely different parts of the world at the same time and being able to make it all work together . . .impressive.
