All throughout HBO’s core Game of Thrones saga, the Powers That Be managed to recruit some truly A-list stars – Charles Dance, Ian McShane, Lena Headey – all the while opening up the stage to newcomers in the vein of Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke, who have since gone on to become bona fide superstars.

That balance between established talents and up-and-coming actors will seemingly carry over into the Thrones prequel series, as one eagle-eyed Instagram user has managed to capture what appears to be the first photo of Naomi Watts in costume. HBO intel has revealed her character to be a “charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret” (how very on-brand), though fans have stipulated that she’ll have ties to the Lannister family tree.

Or, failing that, perhaps Watts is actually portraying Nissa Nissa, the wife of ancient hero Azor Ahai. Diehard Game of Thrones fans will recognize that name as the Lord of Light,...

Warning: This Krypton review contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 9.

Krypton Season 2, Episode 9

For the penultimate episode of Season 2 of Krypton, and it’s a big one, it’s Doomsday for the good guys in the action-packed “Blood Moon,” where a moon-sized loss is suffered, and a main character has a brilliant death – leaving the resistance broken, and hopeless.

It is only fitting to begin with the surprising death of Kem. Rasmus Hardiker has been excellent as Kem since Season 1. He is a smart ass from the streets, but there has always been a vulnerability and sadness to the character. This season’s journey has been satisfying as we’ve seen him become a soldier, then a leader, and ultimately a selfless warrior who sacrifices himself for his friend, and the cause.

The eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones will no doubt go down in history for many reasons.

Not only was it a wildly ambitious curtain call for the network’s Song of Ice and Fire, but Thrones season 8 wound up costing $80 million when accounting for actor salaries, visual effects, and all those extras who spent their nights braving the bitter-cold winds of Northern Ireland for The Battle of Winterfell.

Its success didn’t go unnoticed, either; two weeks ago, Game of Thrones racked up a record 32 Emmy nominations, including nods for Gwendoline Christie, Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Peter Dinklage, the latter of whom has already won three gongs for his outstanding performance as Tyrion Lannister.

So make no mistake, season 8 has earned its credentials for acting and production work, but there are still those who believe the writing and overall plot left much to be desired.

HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones prequel has yet to be given an official title, but that’s not stopping George R.R. Martin from trying to dub it himself. The author has referred in the past to the series as The Long Night, which the network has denied as being the name. In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, however, the writer revealed what he hopes to be the moniker for the show when all is said and done.

“I heard a suggestion that it could be called The Longest Night, which is a variant I wouldn’t mind,” he says. “That would be pretty good.”

Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but such a title would be a fitting representation of how many fans feel on Sunday nights now that the original series is over. The prequel has been filming under the production label of Blood Moon, though...

While many fans are still trying to rid their mouth of the sour taste left by the show’s final season (I know I am), it looks like HBO is moving forward with a Game of Thrones prequel, which is rumored to take place 10,000 years before the story laid out in A Song of Ice and Fire. Of course, there’s still plenty up in the air, as the network has remained rather quiet on the specifics of their new show.

That being said, it’s not as if viewers have been left entirely in the dark. Developed under the codename ‘Blood Moon,’ HBO’s spinoff already boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Naomi Watts, Josh Whitehouse, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo. Recently, series creator George R. R. Martin shed some more light on the upcoming prequel,...

Somewhere deep within HBO towers, plans are afoot for a Game of Thrones prequel series – but not just any prequel series, one which takes place a full 10,000 years before A Song of Ice and Fire.

Said to be working under the codename ‘Blood Moon,’ HBO’s prehistoric spinoff has already amassed a fantastic ensemble cast, which boasts Naomi Watts, Josh Whitehouse, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo.

And with filming already underway across parts of Belfast and Northern Ireland, it’s becoming increasingly clear that HBO is hoping to fast-track this Thrones prequel series for a late 2020/early 2021 premiere. There’s just one issue: it likely won’t enjoy the same levels of success as its predecessor. Or so says George R.R. Martin himself, who knows a thing or two about the mystical worlds of Westeros and Essos.

HBO’s Song of Ice and Fire has come and gone – but this story is far from over.

On the one hand, series creator and all-around Thrones expert George R.R. Martin is still in the process of penning his final two installments, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. While at HBO towers, plans are in place for a Game of Thrones prequel series featuring such A-list stars as Naomi Watts, Josh Whitehouse, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo.

Said to be codenamed ‘Blood Moon,’ the good folks over at the Watchers on the Wall have unearthed what seems to be the early (or indeed final?) logo for HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel, a story which begins 10,000 years in the past – so forget about your favorite cast members swinging by for an appearance.

Take a...

There are very few characters from Game of Thrones who could possibly be included in the upcoming prequel series, tentatively titled Blood Moon. The new show will take us back thousands of years into the past when the Age of Heroes descended into darkness, so in theory, characters like the Night

Colt (Chad Michael Collins)—a gunslinging werewolf slayer from the old west—mysteriously rises from the grave, only to find that the band of werewolves that brutally murdered his wife are still running rampant generations later. Aided by a beautiful widow (Chelsea Edmundson), a skeptical town sheriff (Matthew Thompkins) and a corrupt Mayor (Sean Patrick Flanery), Colt must face off with the bloodthirsty creatures once again to save a sleepy southern town from destruction.

Let’s face it, horror westerns are Very difficult to get right. On one side there’s dross like Gallowalkers, then on the other there’s brilliant films like 2014′a Blood Moon. Though, honestly, the bad often outweighs the good in this particular genre, which is probably why High Moon decides to forgoe its Western origins and sets most...
