Warner Media is trying to make the most of George R.R. Martin’s IP, the author is tied into a big deal with HBO, and back in 2017 HBO ordered five spin-offs of Game Of Thrones series but only one led by Naomi Watts got the pilot order, and even it was cancelled after HBO looked at the pilot. Then HBO proceeded to give a series order to House of Dragons, a prequel series that will focus on the House of Targaryen, and will be set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones.
Then some days ago, multiple reports came up saying that HBO is developing a Game Of Thrones prequel series based on Martin’s novellas names “Tales of Dunk and Egg” the story will be set 90 years before the events that took place in Game of Thrones Season 8, and will follow Dunk (Ser Duncan the Tall, the future Lord Commander of the Kingsguard) and Egg (Aegon V Targaryen, future king of Westeros), Egg is the great-grandfather of Jon Snow.
