Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon

[BusSport]

The Bloodmoon prequel series (update: that series, Bloodmoon, was cancelled) for Game of Thrones already has a cast and is filming a pilot, and now it appears there will also be a second prequel series, centered around House Targaryen and based on George R. R. Martin's side history book Fire & Blood. If you want to discuss stuff from the book that this show hasn't gotten to yet, do so in the book readers thread instead of in this thread.

Deadline: "Game of Thrones' House Targaryen Prequel from George R.R. Martin & Ryan Condal Nears HBO Pilot Order"

I hope this doesn't become oversaturated.

This Fire & Blood / House Targaryen potential spin-off is still being developed and getting an official pilot order from HBO, but the other potential spin-off, Bloodmoon, has been cancelled, per Deadline and IGN.

Can we just let GOT die? Bad enough it had the worst sendoff of and series, but just let it die.

As long as they are following the authors books, instead of making shit up, it should be good.

House of the Dragon confirmed for ten episodes

I'm in so long as the writers that failed the final season of GOT got the axe.

The way they fucked up the last season of such a great series, I'm not interested at all.

Whats the track record on successful prequels?

Better Call Saul is the only one I can think of that I actually like.

There aren't many, but there are some good prequel series out there.

I mean Young Sheldon for CBS is I think one of the biggest prequels hits in the country. Of course success doesn’t always speak to quality however.

It has potential.

It ended badly, but GoT was one of the greatest TV shows of all time. The showrunner will be the guy who directed the best episodes, so my hopes are up.

Funny that some people are already thrashing this because it was picked over the female-led/female-ran "Bloodmoon" show.

Fuck, that book has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. I guess I better get to reading it now before viewing this.

No rush: House of the Dragon isn't expected to debut until 2021.

Are we watching the same Fear? Morgan went from one of my 3 favorite characters in the TWD franchise. To character most deserving to be punched in the throat regardless of series.

I thought I read somewhere that they will not be going forward with the show now. Anyone else hear that or did I just imagine it?
