From Harper’s BAZAAR<\/p>\n

Game of Thrones<\/em> might have taken its final bow, will there be more to come from Westeros in the future?<\/p>\n

Fans of the fantasy series could rest assured knowing that HBO had a couple of prequel series in the works, but now one of those projects has apparently been nixed by the network. The potential show written by Jane Goldman and starring Naomi Watts will not be moving forward as a series, HBO has confirmed. The project would have revolved around the Age of Heroes, thousands of years before the events on the original GoT series.<\/p>\n

However, dragon-loving fans will be pleased to know that another Targaryen-based prequel has been confirmed by HBO. Almost a month after it was first reported that the network was eyeing a pilot order, the company announced that the series, called House of the Dragon<\/em>, is indeed happening.<\/p>\n

Initially, HBO reportedly commissioned five different ideas for a Game of Thrones <\/em>prequel or spinoff, but it’s unclear which ones will continue to take shape. Here’s what we know of all the potential shows so far.<\/p>\n

The Targaryen Series<\/h2>\n

House of the Dragon<\/em> is slated for 10 episodes.<\/h3>\n

The script, written by Ryan Condal (Colony<\/em>, Rampage<\/em>) will cover events in George R. R. Martin’s book, Fire & Blood<\/em>, which details the history of the dragon-wielding family 300 years before the events in Game of Thrones<\/em>. It’s likely the series would revolve around the Dance of Dragons, the legendary Targaryen civil war. Entertainment Weekly<\/em> first reported that HBO was close to ordering a pilot in early September. A month later, it was revealed that the network put in a full series order.<\/p>\n

Condal, who created the series with Martin, will be co-showrunner with “Battle of the Bastards” director Miguel Sapochnik, who is also directing the pilot and other episodes.<\/p>\n

It will premiere in 2022.<\/h3>\n

In January 2020, HBO programming president Casey Bloys shared that he predicts House of the Dragon will arrive “sometime in 2022.” As for the the progress of production so far, he said, “They are starting writing,” per Deadline<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Age of Heroes Series<\/h2>\n

HBO confirmed the show is not moving forward.<\/h3>\n

In a statement released November 1, the network confirmed earlier reports that its untitled project was dead.<\/p>\n

\n

“After careful consideration, we have decided not to move forward to series with the Untitled Game of Thrones<\/em> prequel. We thank Jane Goldman, S.J. Clarkson, and the talented cast and crew for all of their hard work and dedication.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It would have taken place thousands of years before the Game of Thrones<\/em> story we know.<\/h3>\n

According to the network, this was the official synopsis for the now-cancelled series:<\/p>\n

\n

“Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones<\/em>, the series chronicles the world\u2019s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. From the horrifying secrets of Westeros\u2019s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: It\u2019s not the story we think we know.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

George R. R. Martin explained to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> in April 2019, “You’re looking at a whole different era of Westeros. No dragons, no Iron Throne, no King’s Landing.”<\/p>\n

However, he told Entertainment Weekly<\/em> that the Starks, the White Walkers (known in the written series as The Others), direwolves, and mammoths all existed in that world. The Lannisters also weren’t around yet, but their ancestral seat, Casterly Rock, existed. At the time, there were hundreds of “petty kingdoms” rather than the seven that stand in Game of Thrones<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Martin even told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that a lot of the story was based on “a sentence or two” in his book, The World of Ice and Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and Game of Thrones<\/em>. “You might find a sentence or two in The World of Ice and Fire,<\/em>” he said. “<\/em>You certainly won’t find 12 pages. A lot of this is based on that line or two, and Jane then took it and came up with something.”<\/p>\n
