HBO programming president Casey Bloys has confirmed that they are in talks with George R.R. Martin about a Game of Thrones prequel series.
George RR Martin, author of the book series on which the show is based, has hinted at a series that will tell tales before the current characters time.
At the Emmys this year, Casey said, “I do have thousands of pages of fake history of everything that led up to Game of Thrones, so there’s a lot of material there and I’m writing more.”

The 68-year-old author spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the idea of a prequel, “There are eight million stories in Westeros as well and even more in Essos and the lands beyond.
“A whole world full of stories. If indeed HBO is interested.”
Casey Bloys also told Entertainment Weekly, “I would say it’s still kind of preliminary ongoing talks. There are areas we are exploring, but I wouldn’t point to any one and say, ‘This is what we’re going to do.'”
