HBO Orders New 'Game of Thrones' Prequel Series After Dropping the Other One
HBO has announced that a Game of Thrones prequel series titled House of the Dragon has officially been ordered to series!
The network just passed on a different prequel series, which was led by Naomi Watts and had already filmed a pilot. This series will definitely be seen as it was given a series order.
House of the Dragon is set 300 years before the events in Game of Thrones and is focused on House Targaryen. The series was created by GOT author George R.R. Martin and Colony‘s Ryan Condal, who will write the script.
Miguel Sapochnik, who directed GOT‘s “Battle of the Bastards” episode and won an Emmy, will direct the pilot and additional episodes of the series.
“The Game of Thrones universe is so rich with stories,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys said (via THR). “We look forward to exploring the origins of House Targaryen and the earlier days of Westeros along with Miguel, Ryan and George.”
This is not one of the prequel series that had previously been in the works at HBO.
