Aegon's Conquest and the Blackfyre Rebellion better be two of those five prequels :ufdup:
Blackfyre rebellion sound like some soap opera shiet, I ain't got time for these mugs to be sticking they nose in the air every five minutes, might as well give me a dance with dragons

of course... if half the fans migrated they would have another solid show/hit and this is their bread and butter

Game of Thrones prequel starts filming (and in a familiar location)

The First Production Still

The Game of Thrones prequel is officially underway.

Filming has quietly begun on the untitled follow-up to HBO’s fantasy sensation, which is shooting a pilot this summer in hopes for a series order.

The shooting location is a familiar one: Northern Ireland, which served as the production of hub for GoT during its entire run. It’s not yet clear if the prequel will also shoot in other countries as well.

The GoT prequel is from showrunner Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class) along with author George R.R. Martin and director S.J. Clarkson (Jessica Jones). The story is set thousands of years (roughly 5,000, according to Martin) before the events in GoT.

“Westeros is a very different place,” Martin told EW previously. “There’s no King’s Landing. There’s no Iron Throne. There are no Targaryens — Valyria has hardly begun to rise yet with its dragons and the great empire that it built. We’re dealing with a different and older world and hopefully that will be part of the fun of the series.”


The show boasts an ensemble cast led by Naomi Watts (King Kong) along with Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Miranda Richardson, Josh Whitehouse, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Alex Sharp and Toby Regbo.

Martin has suggested the show will be titled The Long Night, which was also the title of the third episode of GoT‘s final season. If the pilot is greenlit to series, the earliest we’re likely to see the show on the air is late 2020; with the spring of 2021 a more likely launch target given that’s when HBO preferred to premiere seasons of GoT.
