Game of Thrones Prequel Series

[Skel]

I searched and looked but didn't see anything, apologies if repost.

Seems HBO is not letting a cash cow go. They've ordered a prequel series.

Hmm, I figured they would go with either Robert's Rebellion or Aegon's Conquest neither of which I thought would be particularly interesting. I like it.

I wanted to see Robert's Rebellion. That ties in so closely to the events of GoT and can keep so much character familiarity that it would most easily maintain fan interest. But I'll give GRRM credit for such a rich backstory. They can set a prequel anywhere in the timeline from the Age of Heroes onward and still have a compelling series. So if they back to The Long Night Era that gives them plenty of room. If if stays popular they can progress all the way through the Age of Valyria, the rise the Seven Kingdoms and the Targaryen Dynasty and eventually get to Roberts Rebellion.

The main problem I saw with Robert's Rebellion was that we already know who wins and who lives taking much of the suspense out of it. But it did have the character recognition and that is why I thought it would be likely.

We already know that for the older stuff too.

How about the rise of the Night King? A back story around the 1st men and the children of the forest
