    House of The Dragon: HBO announces GoT's prequel, cancels another
  • Game of Thrones gave HBO unimaginable success, the channel minted tons of money, and the stars who acted in the series became global sensations.

    But television's biggest spectacle turned out to be a disappointment in its final episodes, provoking a backlash from fans.

    And now, perhaps with an intention to win them over, HBO is re-investing in the "realm" by announcing a prequel.

    HBO was working on multiple 'GoT' related projects The pilot's reception led HBO to scrap the series After breaking hearts, HBO did some damage control The dragons are returning! Soon, we'll know life story of Daenerys' ancestors Will prequel do justice to the "fiery" house?

  • Before we jump straight to the new announcement, let's give you a quick recap. While GoT was yet to reach its (rushed) climax, the broadcaster announced it's working on as many as five projects.

    One such series starred Naomi Watts. Supposedly focusing on White Walkers, this one garnered a lot of attention.

    But on Tuesday, it was learned this prequel has been axed.

  • Decision

    The pilot's reception led HBO to scrap the series

  • The termination of the Watts-led series was taken after a lengthy discussion with the production team. The pilot episode shot over the summer didn't get rave reviews, suggests Deadline. Some issues related to shooting in Northern Ireland also cropped up.

    Meanwhile, series writer Jane Goldman, who was working with author George RR Martin, has started shooting off emails to cast informing about the decision.

  • Just when fans were dealing with the news of much-talked-about series going down the drain, HBO appeared to offer them some consolation by ordering 10 episodes of House of the Dragon.

    Ryan Condal will be working on this series with Martin and the pilot will be directed by Miguel Sapochnik.

    To note, Sapochnik has won an Emmy for directing the Battle of Bastards.

  • Prequel

    Soon, we'll know life story of Daenerys' ancestors

    Soon, we'll know life story of Daenerys' ancestors
  • As GoT loyalists may have guessed by now, the prequel is centered around House Targaryen.

    It will tell viewers the story of Daenerys' fiery ancestors. The show will be set 300 years before GoT.

    While Martin's Fire & Blood spans generations of Targaryens, it's unclear how this will be included in the prequel.

    And like everything he's written, even this book is unfinished.

  • Do you know?

    Will prequel do justice to the "fiery" house?

  • The divisive final season, notwithstanding, fans would surely be eager to learn more about Targaryens. In GoT, this "house" became the center of detest, was feared and didn't get a happy ending. Let's see if the prequel makes an attempt to change that.
