Weiss, creators and showrunners of <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, are making a new series for HBO called <em>Confederate<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The drama is set in an alternative timeline in which the U.S. Southern states were able to secede from the Union, creating a nation in which slavery remains legal. The show chronicles the events that lead to a third American civil war. It will be written by Benioff and Weiss, who will also serve as showrunners.<\/p>\n<p>Casey Bloys, president of HBO Programming, noted, &#8220;As the brilliant <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> winds down to its final season, we are thrilled to be able to continue our relationship with Dan and David, knowing that any subject they take on will result in a unique and ambitious series. Their intelligent, wry and visually stunning approach to storytelling has a way of engaging an audience and taking them on an unforgettable journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also attached are executive producers and writers Nichelle Tramble Spellman and Malcolm Spellman. Carolyn Strauss and Bernadette Caulfield will also join as executive producers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have discussed\u00a0<em>Confederate<\/em> for years, originally as a concept for a feature film,&#8221; Benioff and Weiss said. &#8220;But our experience on <em>Thrones<\/em> has convinced us that no one provides a bigger, better storytelling canvas than HBO. There won&#8217;t be dragons or White Walkers in this series, but we are creating a world, and we couldn&#8217;t imagine better partners in world-building than Nichelle and Malcolm, who have impressed us for a long time with their wit, their imagination and their Scrabble-playing skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Production will begin following the final season of <em>Game of Thrones.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Benioff and D.B.
