"Game Of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin says a fifth spin-off of the fantasy series is being developed at HBO.

It was confirmed last month that four "Game of Thrones" spin-offs were in the works.

According to independent.co.uk, Martin updated fans via his Live Journal entry on May 14, writing: "We had four scripts in development when I arrived in Los Angeles last week, but by the time I left, we had five. We have added a fifth writer to the original four. No, I will not reveal the name here."

He added: "HBO announced the names of the first four, and will no doubt announce the fifth as well, once his deal has closed. He's a really terrific addition, however, a great guy and a fine writer."

The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" series will premiere on July 16. It will be back in India on Star World. The final season will most likely air in 2018.
