With HBO’s most popular hit “Game of Thrones” in the midst of its penultimate season, both the network and the creators are looking ahead to the future beyond the show. Weiss and Benioff will write the series and serve as showrunners. Alongside them will be Nichelle Tramble Spellman (“Justified,” “The Good Wife”) and Malcolm Spellman (“Empire”) as executive producers. “We have discussed ‘Confederate’ for years, originally as a concept for a feature film,” Benioff and Weiss said in a statement. “But our experience on ‘Thrones’ has convinced us that no one provides a bigger, better storytelling canvas than HBO.
