HBO Preparing second Game of Thrones prequel
This one's based on the Dance of Dragons (Targaryen Civil War, not the novel...).

Well a prequel about the Long Night was pretty much ruined by the main series, so the Dance makes the most sense. I wonder what the budget is looking like, though..

They've already finished the pilot for Bloodmoon, their long night prequel. HBO is evidently reviewing it now.

I think their best bet was to go with the Dance of Dragons, Long Night, Blackfyre rebellion, Robert's Rebellion, Aegon's conquest or the Doom of Valyria. |

I guess I'll be curious to see how things things do. I know a ton of people are pretty much done with the whole thing after the way the main show ended.

I wonder if it will be awesome for the first six seasons and then badly cram four seasons worth of material into the last two seasons because everybody involved gets sick of working on it?
Sadly, there is precedent for that. |

HBO ****ed up on this. They should have had the new show(s) filmed and ready to go as soon as the GoT series ended. A lot of people will have lost interest in the entire universe by then, and I think people are going to realize quickly that the lore is shallow and the stories will be shit like the last few seasons of GoT.

As far as releasing it earlier as opposed to later, would people really have welcomed a new series after the way DnD ended GoT? And you've got to factor in the potential of fatigue, too, too much of something for too long a time. Nostalgia can develop pretty quickly, and GoT goes from being "that show that just ended that was great and then really ****ing sucked, do we really need this?" to "that show from a couple years ago that ended kinda bad, but everybody watched it, so maybe I shouldn't miss this". |

Count me as one of those people. Two rushed final seasons killed my excitement for any prequels or other series set in the GoT world.

Yeah I dont care anymore either. Hopefully lack of interest makes GRRM go into isolation and finish his books.
