EXCLUSIVE: Hold your dragons, Game of Thrones fans, another prequel of the hugely popular fantasy series is eyeing a green light. I’ve learned that HBO is close to giving a pilot order to a GoT prequel from author and GoT co-executive producer George R.R. Martin and Colony co-creator/exec producer Ryan Condal, which is set 300 years before the events in Game of Thrones and tracks the beginning of the end for House Targaryen. The network declined comment.
One of the three is the untitled prequel, written by Jane Goldman and starring Naomi Watts, which shot a pilot this summer. The project, now in post-production and awaiting word whether it will get a pickup, chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. Story continuesNamed after House Targaryen’s words, Fire & Blood’s first volume was published last November with the tagline, “300 Years Before a Game of Thrones, Dragons Ruled Westeros.” The Targaryen history book, a companion to Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire saga, goes back to a time when House Targaryen — the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria — took up residence on Dragonstone.
At TCA in July, HBO Programming President Casey Bloys would not comment on the status of the other GoT prequels besides the Watts pilot, but did not rule out the possibility for another GoT offshoot to get a green light by the end of the year. “It’s something I would not comment on,” he said. “We are proud to have been the home for it, it’s been a great show for us,” Bloys said after the GoT finale in May.
Condal was the co-creator, executive producer and showrunner of sci-fi drama Colony, which aired on USA for three seasons. On the film side, he has been adapting Logan’s Run for Warner Bros. In addition to executive producing all GoT prequels, Martin executive produces the Wild Cards universe Hulu is developing based on his books. He also recently executive produced the Syfy series Nightflyers.
