Creator George RR Martin is thrilled
The “Game of Thrones” offshoot will play around 200 years before the original series and is based on George RR Martin’s (73) novel “Fire and Blood”, in which he devoted himself to the “rise and fall of the House of Targaryen from Westeros”.
At the end of last year, Martin revealed that he was already allowed to review a rough version of the first episode. On his website In a post at the time, he said: “I love it. It’s dark, it’s powerful, it’s deep… just how I like my epic fantasy.”
