Although Game of Thrones prequel series is still in the early stages of development, HBO has fast-tracked the project in recent months. Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kick-Ass) and A Song of Ice and Fire writer George R.R. Martin are writing the show with the network actively searching for a director. The filming should begin in early 2019.

While plenty of details about Game of Thrones prequel remain unknown, HBO recently released a description of the series’ storyline:

“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.”

It is important to note that HBO has only ordered a pilot and hasn’t committed to making a full series yet. In case that Game of Thrones prequel pilot ends up getting greenlit, we shouldn’t expect to see it before 2020. The network’s executives said on previous occasions that the follow-up series to Game of Thrones wouldn’t find its way to television “at least a year” after the original show airs its eighth and final season.

Final episodes of GoT are set to premiere in the first half of 2019.

Naomi Watts has been tapped to star in the limited series about Ailes, Fox News founder who was ousted from the network following numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. Watts will star as Gretchen Carlson who first served as a co-anchor at Fox and Friends before going on to anchor her own show, was the first women to file a harassment suit against Ailes.

The 50-year-old actress isn’t the first A-lister from down under to join the project and she will star opposite the previously announced Russell Crowe, who will play Ailes.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the eight-episode series based on Gabriel Sherman’s bestselling book The Loudest Voice in the Room aims to shed light on the psychology that drives the political process from the top down through multiple points of view.

Sherman co-wrote the first episode with writer-director Tom McCarthy. Kari Skogland will direct the first two episodes.

Set in the summer of 1982, just after the release of Rocky III, the film tells the story of an average teen in a Rocky Balboa-obsessed town on a quest that carries away his entire family. 

This coming-of-age drama is definitely a genre shift for DeMonaco, who has spent a good few years writing and directing the Purge franchise, a horror-action movie series. 

Watts and Grillo will play the boy’s parents. Also starring are Lucius Hoyos, Jonah Hauer-King, River Alexander and Chase Vacnin. 

Production is set to begin later this month.
