Charles Dance is starring (Tywin Lannister). Someone is doing Foundation as well, don't remember who, though.
They've also got shows coming based on James S.A. Corey's "Expanse" series and a John Scalzi project (don't remember if it's Red Shirts, Lock In or Old Man's War - they're all in production for various stations). In the fantasy realm they have Lev Grossman's "Magicians" coming next year too.

Game of Thrones and Walking Dead have opened the floodgates - there is a ton coming and hopefully it will last for a little while (and be done well).
