BBC News said in 2013 that "the passion and the extreme devotion of fans" had created a phenomenon, unlike anything related to other popular TV series, manifesting itself in fan fiction, [369] Game of Thrones-themed burlesque routines and parents naming their children after series characters; writers quoted attributed this success to the rich detail, moral ambiguity, sexual explicitness and epic scale of the series and novels. [370] The previous year, " Arya" was the fastest-rising girl's name in the US after it had jumped in popularity from 711th to 413th place. [371] Northern Ireland Screen, a UK government agency financed by Invest NI and the European Regional Development Fund, helped fund Game of Thrones. [118] Tourism Ireland has a Game of Thrones-themed marketing campaign similar to New Zealand's Tolkien-related advertising. [119] [120] According to First Minister Arlene Foster, the series has given Northern Ireland the most publicity in its history apart from The Troubles. [121] The production of Game of Thrones and other TV series boosted Northern Ireland's creative industries, contributing to an estimated 12.4 percent growth in arts, entertainment and recreation jobs between 2008 and 2013 (compared with 4.3 percent in the rest of the UK during the same period). [122] After filming had finished, HBO converted its filming locations in Northern Ireland into tourist attractions to be opened in 2019. [123] By 2019, 350,000 visitors, or one sixth of all tourists, came to Northern Ireland annually because of Game of Thrones. [124] Tharoor, Ishaan (May 3, 2013).

Martin said that all the concepts under discussion were prequels, although he believes the term "successor show" applies better to these projects, as they are not Game of Thrones spin-offs in the traditional sense. He ruled out Robert's Rebellion (the overthrow of Daenerys's father by Robert Baratheon) as a possible idea and revealed that some may be set outside Westeros. [431] In September 2018, speaking about the four projects (i.e. not about the Goldman's project), HBO president of programming Casey Bloys said that some of them had been abandoned completely, while others remained as possibilities for the future; [432] Martin said that: "at least two of them are solidly based on material in Fire and Blood". [433] In May 2019, Martin stated that two of the projects were still in the script stage, but were "edging closer". [434] In April 2019, Cogman confirmed his prequel would not be moving forward.
