New Show Will Display The Targaryens Before The Hit TV Series
To further the cinematic creation of George R. R. Martin’s exciting written world, HBO has been brainstorming since 2017 for a wonderful concept. Filming of the pilot for Bloodmoon, the first prequel of the show set 5,000 years before Game of Thrones, has wrapped. This prequel will focus on the White Walkers and the first Long Night. It has recently been released from Deadline, that another spin-off prequel is in the works, this time only 300 years before Games of Thrones, spotlighting the Targaryens and their time in Westeros.
Bryan Cogman originally took on this project, but has since moved to Amazon to work on the Lord of the Rings series. The George R.R. Martin himself and Ryan Condal have been trusted by HBO to keep this concept going. The series will be based off of Martin’s novel, Fire and Blood. It will include important story lines such as Aegon Targaryen’s conquest of the Seven Kingdoms and the Dance of the Dragons. Dragons are also promised in this prequel, specifically Balerion the Black Dread, the most well-known. Continual conflict during the time period of this prequel also brings opportunity for battles, possibly the Battle of Winterfell.
Fans can rest assured, knowing there is much more Game of Thrones related content coming in the future. If you found this article interesting, check out this one.
