Sport of Thrones could also be over, however we’re removed from finished with Westeros.
John Simm and Naomi Watts have filmed a pilot for a sequence set hundreds of years earlier than the HBO TV sequence, and now plans have emerged for ANOTHER prequel from Colony’s Ryan Condal and unique Thrones e-book creator George RR Martin.
“The show stirring up all the internet headlines right now is one of the other [successor shows],” Martin wrote on his weblog. “Additionally a prequel. Set hundreds of years after Jane [Goldman]’s present within the historical past of Westeros.
“And yes, it is based on material from one of my books,” he added, particularly referring to his non-narrative faux-history novel Fireplace & Blood, which poses as a chronicle of Westeros’ first dragon-riding Kings.
At present untitled and never but a certain factor, the opposite Thrones spin-off additionally apparently offers with the sooner years of Home Targaryen, the royal home represented in Sport of Thrones by Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen – and right here’s every little thing else we all know in regards to the potential sequence.
When will the Sport of Thrones Targaryen prequel come to TV?
At present it is a great distance off. HBO haven’t even formally given the sequence a pilot order, not to mention a sequence order, that means it might be a few years earlier than seeing the Targaryens dragon-ride once more. Assuming the sequence will get made in any respect, after all.
“I do want to point out that ‘moving closer to a pilot order’ is NOT the same thing as ‘getting a pilot order.’” Martin stated. “Would that it have been.
“This is encouraging, this is exciting, but don’t buy the couch just yet. When HBO actually gives us a pilot order, you will hear me shouting it from the rooftops. A series order, and I’ll be shouting even louder. But we’ll see. Right now all the signs are good, but nothing is confirmed.”
Will any Sport of Thrones characters return?
Most likely not – until the Evening King or some Youngsters of the Forest make a cameo.
The sequence is supposedly set 300 years earlier than the occasions of Sport of Thrones, that means that not one of the characters we’ve grown to know and love would seem.
Nevertheless, if the sequence does adapt the interval in Westerosi historical past that it’s rumoured to, we’ll see the ancestors of the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons and different households that we’re extra accustomed to – in addition to Aegon “the Conqueror” Targaryen and his sister-wives Rhaenys and Visenya, all of whom have been talked about usually within the sequence.
And there may be one acquainted face that we’d seen once more – that of famously giant dragon Balerion the Black Dread, Aegon’s mount whose cranium resided within the dungeon’s of King’s Touchdown all through most of Sport of Thrones. Although he might need a bit of bit extra pores and skin on his bones…
What’s going to the Sport of Thrones Targaryen prequel be about?
The time interval rumoured for the prequel – round 300 years earlier than the occasions of Sport of Thrones – places it proper within the time when Aegon Targaryen first flew his dragons to Westeros and named himself king, kicking off a bloody (and fiery) battle that ended with the forming of the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms (give or take Dorne for a number of years).
With that in thoughts, it appears doubtless that the sequence would concern itself with Aegon’s so-called Battle of Conquest, although it might be that the drama will start a while earlier than that to determine how and why he got here to his formidable coup.
Alternatively, it’s attainable that the Targaryen Civil Battle – often known as the Dance of Dragons – would be the focus of the prequel. EW appears to suppose so, although the timeline doesn’t fairly line up.
“For what it’s worth, those who have read Fire & Blood will realise it contains enough materials for a dozen shows,” Martin stated.
“I can say that there shall be dragons. Everybody else has stated that, so why not me?”
We’ve gone right into a bit extra depth about potential storylines right here…
Who’s making the sequence?
George RR Martin, who wrote the unique A Tune of Ice and Fireplace e-book sequence that Sport of Thrones relies on, has been engaged on the sequence with Ryan Condal, the creator of sci-fi TV sequence Colony.
“[The series] has a script and a bible, and both of them are terrific, first rate, exciting,” Martin stated. “They’re the work of Ryan Condal.”
“He’s a helluva strong writer, and a huge fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, Dunk & Egg, and Westeros in general. I’ve loved working with him, and if the Seven Gods and HBO are kind, I hope to keep on working with him for years to come on this new successor show.”
Common Sport of Thrones author Bryan Cogman reportedly labored on an earlier model of the concept that has now been shelved.
Who’s within the forged?
At present unknown, however we’re in all probability on the lookout for platinum blondes OR folks with some stable wig expertise. And whoever they’re, we’re certain they’ll be hitting up Emilia Clarke for some dragon-riding suggestions quickly.
What’s the title of the brand new Targaryan Sport of Thrones prequel?
George RR Martin has revealed that there’s already a title for the sequence – however he’s not telling us what it’s simply but.
“This one has a title, but no one else has revealed it, so I had better not either –but it’s not the obvious title,” he wrote, presumably referring to the potential for the sequence being named Fireplace & Blood after the e-book it’s based mostly on.
