HBO: Bloodmoon
 

Working title for the first Game of Thrones sequel, formerly known as The Long Night, which began filming recently.

From HBO:Will post more as it comes.

What are you thinking about this Keg?

I’ll for sure watch it m, but it’s hard for me to think it will match the success of GOT

lol this is gonna suck so hard.

Viewership will be huge for like the first episode until the casual watchers will realize that none of their favorite characters are in it. Then they’ll all leave.

Too early to tell. It's maybe an even more interesting period in Essos history, though.

One possibility is that we'll see stuff like the original (Stark...) Night's King from the books, and his relationship with the Night's Queen. Much more history on the Others and maybe their origin.

That's my personal hope, that they move away from human drama and make it more focused on Fantasy. I think it could be huge if they do that.

Oh, and Valyria in all its glory. This is set thousands of years before the Doom.

The Long Night was like three thousand years before Valyria was even around.

The Long Night = 8000 years before Aegon's Conquest, rise of the Valyrian Freeholds and the fall of Gris = 5000 years before Aegon's Conquest.

The show is rumored to take place 5000 years ago.

I'm down to watch, it's an interesting story and if done right they could have a dozen successful spin offs with this story. Emphasis on 'if done right'

I like the concept and I'll watch... but wow that cast looks weird so far. Most look really young and all the dudes look androgynous. I'm going to have a hard time finding someone to root for like I did with Jon and Rob.

Filming started in Northern Ireland this week and most folks seem to think we'll be seeing it late next year or early 2021.

As the last season of GOT started to get the bad wrap it did they needed to fast track a preview trailer to reveal at the end of the season. I just dont think it will have the draw after the disaster that was season 8.
IF it turns out to have better writers or adaptive writers it could get the fans back.
Im less excited for it than I should be. I will watch it though.

Game of Thrones will be remembered more fondly in 12 months than it is now. It was a fantastic TV show that took a little too long to end and ended too quickly. A very weird combo indeed, but the time between episodes with not enough episodes was the big mistake...

Long layoffs can be an issue (that killed Battlestar Galactica on scifi), but not enough book was the real problem. More material to borrow from is the only thing that could've saved the slow, steady swirl down the shitter of seasons 5-8 from D&D.

The bolded part is the about the only thing you got right. :cuss:
