HBO’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ Prequel Starts Filming This Summer

HBO’s yet-to-be titled Game of Thrones prequel series is set to begin production this Summer.

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, HBO programming president Casey Bloys said that the new Game of Thrones project starts filming in early Summer. S.J. Clarkson is directing the pilot of the prequel from Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kick-Ass writer Jane Goldman.

Naomi Watts and Josh Whitehouse are set to star in the Game of Thrones spin-off. Joining them are Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Shella Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp and Toby Regbo. Character details are being kept under wraps.

With Game of Thrones coming to a close after its upcoming eighth season, HBO is looking to capitalize on its success and expand upon the series developed by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. But don’t expect to see the prequel series launch anytime soon. The first spin-off from the premium cabler is not expected to debut until one year after the final season of Game of Thrones airs.

ame of Thrones is set to return for its six-episode conclusion on April 14, 2019. Benioff, Weiss, Bryan Cogman and Dave Hill have written the final six episodes, which are being directed by David Nutter and Miguel Sapochnik, with Benioff and Weiss helming the series finale.
