A prequel to Game of Thrones is coming! But it may not be until 2021

According to Comicbook, although it has only been three days since the finale of "Game of Thrones" aired, fans around the world are already speculating about the future of this legendary fantasy drama. According to Casey Bloys, HBO project director, there should be a prequel to "Game of Thrones", but everyone has to be patient and wait. It is likely to be released after 2021, and he has no way to confirm it now.

Casey Bloys said: "I don't know. I can only confirm whether to continue filming after reading the script of the first season based on the scale and scope of the show. It may be too rushed to start filming in June this year and broadcast it a year later. It is too early to discuss this matter now. The casting has been completed and they are now in Belfast, Ireland, preparing to start filming in a few weeks."

Due to the huge influence of "Game of Thrones" around the world, this drama has dominated the current trend culture. Many people think that it is a great choice to produce some spin-off dramas that tell the story before "Game of Thrones". But as Casey Bloy said, this prequel may be giving the green light for subsequent spin-off dramas.

Casey Bloy further explained: "I doubt it and don't agree with it. I really don't want to overcorrect. We have many new dramas to be presented in 19, 20 and 21. Although "Game of Thrones" is a valuable asset, I don't want to just develop a prequel or a sequel from this IP. I think it's important to be careful about doing things. I don't want to rush for the sake of rushing, and I think the last thing fans want to see is a rushed work."

Currently, this unnamed prequel to "Game of Thrones" will tell the story thousands of years before the main plot, as well as some unknown historical events in Westeros. The current cast includes British actress Naomi Watts ("Mulholland Drive"), Josh Whitehouse ("Northern Soul"), etc. It is expected to be broadcast after 2021.
