After successfully making Game of Thrones a television phenomenon, HBO is already working on a prequel to the series that will be set thousands of years before the incidents of the one previously released.
Today it has been confirmed that the pilot of this prequel from Game of Thrones has already started shooting in Northern Ireland with a script written by Jane Goldman (“Kick-Ass,” “X-Men: First Generation”) and George RRMartin himself.
The plot of this prequel will explore the terrible secrets of the history of Westeros, the true story of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East and the legend of the ancestors of the Starks.
Naomi Watts (“Mulholland Drive,” “The Impossible”) will headline the cast of the series – still untitled – which will also include Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Miranda Richardson, Josh Whitehouse, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo.
Jane Goldman will also be the series showrunner and executive producer with Martin, Vince Gerardis and Daniel Zelman. The pilot is expected to debut at the end of 2020 on HBO.
