Last month, it became a bidding war between, Netflix, Amazon and Disney. Finally, the Game of Thrones creators decided to go with Netflix. However, this doesn’t mean they will only work for them. Weiss and Benioff have already made a commitment to Disney for creating Star Wars film.
And they did the right thing by choosing Netflix! Critics and fans have highly praised the platform for the originals it produces. Moreover, when it comes to the biggest movies and tv shows, no other streaming service has the kind of international reach as Netflix.

However, HBO hasn’t commented on the departure of D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. But sources reveal that creators have no leftover project in production at HBO. So this means the controversial alt-history project called Confederate won’t be produced on HBO.
Plus, Netflix has made a huge investment on them, and we hope they succeed in capturing the viewer’s attention.
