Starkiller Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 https://ew.com/tv/2018/06/08/game-thrones-prequel-jane-goldman/amp/ HBO has officially greenlit a follow-up pilot to its acclaimed international hit Game of Thrones and it sounds just as massively ambitious as the original series. The network has ordered a prequel drama from writer Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service, X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass) and author George R.R. Martin. The network has released an official description of the show’s storyline, and it’s another tale spread across multiple locations and clans: Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East, to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know.” According to Martin’s books, the Age of Heroes began 10,000 years before the events in GoT. Some of the major names which could be characters in the new show include Bran the Builder (who founded House Stark and oversaw construction of The Wall and Winterfell) and Lann the Clever (who founded House Lannister). The era led into the Long Night — a winter that lasted a generation — and the greatest war against the white walkers. Then again, that’s what we think we know, and the logline for the new show says this is “not the story we think we know.” The pilot doesn’t yet have a title. If greenlit to series, HBO has previously stated that no successor series will air until a year after GoT has its series finale. Since the eighth and final season of GoT is coming next year, the soonest we can see a successor series is 2020. If ordered to series, this will mark the first time in HBO’s history that the premium cable network has made a successor series to one of its shows.

Legaltitan Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Theres a near zero chance Martin finishes the series. It's why I try to not be too critical of the show. It's all we have and ever will have so might as well roll with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Right know we know that he is releasing Fire and Blood book 1 this year but not Winds of Winter. Then WoW, presumably next year. Then Fire and Blood book 2. When will Dream of Spring come out? I don’t even want to contemplate it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 In interviews he's discussed how he waits for inspiration. I suspect that the reality is he's written a good bit or conceived of a good bit of a dream of spring. But actually completing that text will be years.

I’m sure he already knows exactly what will happen and who ends up where, which presumably makes Dreams of Spring a bit easier to write than Winds of Winter where he has to put people in the right places to set up those endings. So I honestly think that the gap between the last 2 books should be much shorter than our current wait between books. Dance with Dragons came out in 2011 for god sakes.

pat Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I suspect GRRM is full of BS and is waiting for the HBO checks to stop before he goes on another book tour. Legaltitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
