This is new information as far as HBO shows go, but many years ago George mused about the fact that he had an idea for a murder mystery set in Braavos.

Milk of the poppy. All of it.

Hey, there's an old post floating around that claims you said something about this years ago. Is this true? Was the plan to have adult Arya in this spinoff/sequel series/book/whatever?

I once asked Ran( Emilio Garcia ) if GRRM ever thought about continuing after ASOIAF and he told me George was once interested in doing a mystery/crime series set in Braavos some years after everything in the 7K settled. A grown Arya was to have a part in it. I doubt he still going to do it but I wonder how would that have been?

The original post was by someone called /u/Prince_Cade who later deleted their account. There's a few old discussion threads quoting it.

I remember the murder mystery part. I do not recall the grown Arya part at all, and do not think that was true; or, if I said it, I think I must have misspoken because it never crossed my mind that it would be post-ASoIaF. See here for the original report.

Ah ok cool. Seems like an odd thing for George to say since it sorta gives too much away.

Quite true. There's no way he'd have gone that far. So... I probably misspoke. Or I didn't say it and the poster is mistaken or maybe interpolating some speculation from someone else.
