Confederate was a planned American alternate history drama television series developed for the network HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, who had previously developed the HBO series Game of Thrones.[1] The series was to be set in a timeline where the American Civil War ended in a stalemate. The announcement of Confederate was followed by anger and criticism on social media with some describing it as slavery fan fiction.[2][3] This led to the hashtag #NoConfederate, which trended number one in the United States and number two worldwide on Twitter in mid 2017.[4][2] Although development of the series continued after the controversy, plans for the series were ultimately confirmed as canceled in January 2020.
