Time Warner Inc.’s HBO is exploring the possibility of four spinoffs to its critically-acclaimed series “Game of Thrones,” according to multiple media reports. The idea of a spinoff to “Game of Thrones,” which will air its second-to-last season on July 16, has been tossed around for a while. At last year’s Television Critics Association summer press tour HBO programming president Casey Bloys said the team had talked about a spinoff, but that it needed to make sense creatively. “Game of Thrones” is HBO’s most-watched series ever. Shares of Time Warner Inc. have gained 2% in the year to date and more than 31% in the prior 12-month period. By comparison, the S&P 500 Index is up nearly 7% in the year and more than 16% in the last 12 months.
