Over the weekend, reports emerged that HBO has commissioned a pilot episode for one of the five Game of Thrones prequels currently being developed by the network.
Meanwhile, Game of Thrones returns to HBO and Sky Atlantic for an eighth and final season in 2019.
Martin confirmed that Goldman’s series will take place thousands of years before the events of the Game of Thrones TV series and will not feature any of the same cast members.
Additionally, he adds that one of the five initial spin-offs has since been scrapped by HBO.
