Admittedly, the comparison isn't exact, given that Max didn't exist when the HOTD S1 arrived, but it's still an impressive number.
Now WBD has confirmed that the production of another game of Thrones cleave, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has officially begun and revealed that five more cast members will be joining the show's ensemble. The five in question are Finn Bennett (True Detective: Night Country) as Aerion Targaryen, Bertie Carvel (The crown) as Baelor Targaryen, Tanzyn Crawford (beautiful little things) as Tanselle, Daniel Ings (The Knights) as Ser Lyonel Baratheon and finally Sam Spruell (fargo) as Maekar Targaryen.

More Westeros Adventures Coming
RR Martin once said in an interview with The Guardian that when he started writing Game of Thrones, he I originally thought it might be a short story. How wrong I was. Since the original show concluded in 2019, it has spawned its own fledgling television ecosystem, with eight spin-off shows said to be in development at HBO as of last year.
At least one of them is now apparently dead, and Kit Harington revealed that a mooted series about Jon Snow was “off the table” in an interview in April. However, there could still be up to seven projects ahead. And that doesn't even include the third season of Dragon House, which has already been confirmed, so there's plenty of Westeros action in the works.
