Oscar nominee Miranda Richardson, best known for playing Rita Skeeter in the Harry Potter films and starring in TV series Blackadder and Girlfriends, has joined HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel pilot, TVLine has confirmed.
The untitled pilot takes the prequel concept to a new level as it is set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones.
He also noted that “three more Game of Thrones prequels, set in different periods and featuring different characters and storylines, remain in active development.”
The big-budgeted spinoff is created by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsman) and GOT author George R.R. Martin, written by Goldman based on a story by her and Martin.
