'Game of Thrones' Fans Weigh in After Prequel Pilot Starring Naomi Watts Is Scrapped
What was set to be the first spinoff from the wildly successful Game of Thrones series has been [...]
Two Prequels?
Perhaps Bloodman was expendable because there are other GoT spin-offs in the works. There is one project in the works that is believed to take place about 300 years before the events of the original series.

So Sad
For some fans, the emotions of not getting such a promising prequel is too much to handle.

Maybe?
Maybe HBO just shouldn't bother attempting another Game of Thrones series after how bad the series ended?

Get Paid
While fans are certainly upset, imagine how bad this must feel for the cast and crew that already put so much work into it.
prevnextI just hope everyone who put time and effort into this prequel got paid already. #gameofthrones #thelongnight

Still Hope
There is still hope thanks to that other prequel. It is based on George R.R. Martin's book, Fire and Blood and focuses on House Targaryen's dynasty in Westeros.
prevDamn, the #gameofthrones prequel set in the "Age of Heroes" has been cancelled by @HBO. Apparently they weren't pleased enough with it to move forward to series. Guess there's still hope for the Targaryen series though. @GameOfThrones
