An alternate history drama from Game Of Thrones executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, Confederate was met with outcry when it was announced three years back due to the fact that it imagined a post-Civil War world in which slavery was still legal and, to take things further, had evolved into a modern institution.

However, the controversial series never made it to production, as the duo's apparent involvement in a new Star Wars trilogy (which never happened either) and subsequent deal with Netflix changed things dramatically. And now, after three years in limbo, HBO president Casey Bloys officially confirmed to TVLine that the show is dead.
