A ‘Game of Thrones’ Prequel On House Targaryen May Be In The Works

HBOis near to closing a pilot order for a secondGame of Thronesprequel TV Show, set 300 years before the original series and will explore the history ofHouse Targaryen.

The first prequel series, starringNaomi Watts and set during the fabledAge of Heroes (6,000 years beforeGame of Thrones begins), has finished shooting its pilot and is currently awaiting a full series order.

TheHouse Targaryenprequel could feature characters likeAegonthe Conquerorand his sister-wivesRhaenysandVisenya, as well as the dragons that they used to conquerWesteros. These are the ancestors ofDaenerys Targaryen(played byEmilia Clarke), who spent the eight seasons ofGame of Throneslaunching her bid for the Iron Throne.

Whatever the plot of the upcoming series will be, it will be an intriguing watch as theTargaryensare known for their ‘madness’ (associated with their incestuous relationships), fiery temper, and awe-inspiring dragons. Hopefully, more news will be revealed soon.
