It’s been a long time waiting, but E! News has confirmed that HBO has officially given a pilot order to a Thrones prequel. 

After having five ideas in the works, the network has finally committed to a new series set thousands of years before the events of GoT. 

While no specifics were revealed, we do know that the series will chronicle the descent from the Golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. The network’s logline teased that “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.”

The currently untitled project will be co-created by author George R.R. Martin, original source author, and Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service).

While prequels are happening, a revival or spinoff is definitely off the table. 

HBO president Casey Bloys told The Hollywood Reporter, “This story, A Song of Fire and Ice, is done. There’s no revival, reboot, spinoff talk.”

Game of Thrones‘ final season is expected to premiere in 2019.

After alluding to the possibly of an additional prequel on his blog months ago, EW has confirmed that co-exec. Bryan Cogman, is indeed writing a 5th GoT prequel series. Colman is working closely with author George R.R. Martin in the penning process, and he is  already involved in two of the other four prequel series.

Cogman has been with Thrones since the first season. He started out as an assistant to show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss. Along the way he has written several of the show’s outstanding episodes, eventually becoming the show’s third-most prolific writer.

Of reading Martin’s debut A Song of Ice and Fire novel, Cogman said he “immediately fell in love with the book from page one, as most people do. It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had reading anything. It’s inspired storytelling, that’s all there is to it, and the characters are so rich, the themes are so varied. I love it.”

There are no details yet for any of the show’s prequels and that includes the new and 5th one. However, Martin did rule out the options of prequels centering on Robert’s rebellion, as none of the prequels will involve any of the current characters.

All that remains is to wait and see which prequel HBO programming president Casey Bloys will green-light.
