I'm kinda interested in a doom of valyria series, but I know that it would involve at least a season of showing valyria in its peak, which is a caste, slavery based conqueror culture where valyrians are blonde haired, white skinned fascistic leaders with powerful magic and dragons and I don't really want to watch a show fully based around a culture like that?

I am more interested in what happened to Valyria after the doom, since it is apparently super cursed.

So I guess George recently said hes having a hard time with Winds of Winter and when hes done he wants to take a break from writing A Song of Ice and Fire to write other books for a bit.

Winds of Winter is arguably the hardest book to write. It's where he has to bring all these disparate threads together, and he never had a detailed plan going in.

"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."

The cast of the prequel alone seems to hint at some key differences with the original series. Thrones has been criticized for a lack of diversity as most of its core cast is played by white actors. The show has been praised for its strong female characters — creating iconic fan favorites such as Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) and several others. Yet the handling of female characters has sometimes been criticized. The prequel lineup with its three female leads, female showrunner and director and diverse cast suggests a new woker-Westeros approach.
If greenlit to series, the Game of Thrones prequel is expected to arrive on HBO in 2020 at the earliest.
The pilot will be directed by two women, SJ Clarkson (Collateral) and previously announced showrunner Jane Goldman (X-Men First Class)
Naomi Ackie (Star Wars 9)
Denise Gough (Colette)
Shella Atim (Harlots)
Georgie Henley (Chronicles of Narnia)
Ivanno Jeremiah (Black Mirror)
Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd)
Alex Sharp (How To Talk To Girls At Parties)
Toby Regbo (Fantastic Beasts 2)
Previously announced Josh Whitehouse and Naomi Watts

While it's really cool that they have so many women involved in the prequel project, it was so hard to get a good Game of Thrones show in the first few seasons, and it has only gone off the rails since then. I have serious doubts that they can capture lightning in a bottle again by going even farther afield from the source material, and that's not a reflection of the people so much as the difficulty of the task.
But if they can pull it off, it'd be pretty damn cool.
Yeah, I definitely think that the more the show diverged from the source material (rather than just condensing it in the first few seasons) the less I've enjoyed it.
As Xeddicus says though, telling their own stories could be different.

Valyria's Doom was actually the Reapers culling the Valyrians because they advanced too far.
They control dragons because of midichlorians in their blood.
Don't worry, it's all part of the matrix anyway.

Given how awful all of the rulers are in Westerous, he might be a step up in quality ruler-ship.
It hurts.

But they're filling check boxes instead of making a story with this so we'll see what happens.

either way I am looking forward to this final season, especially after doing a full rewatch last month!
This is almost certainly just a teaser bit

Probably because it's a the big spoiler for last season? Even if it was inevitable.
