Game of Thrones prequel The Hedge Knight adds three more writers/producers
HBO has been discussing expanding the Martinverse even prior to the conclusion of the first series, so the idea of Game of Thrones spinoffs has been around for a while. While some have been abandoned, others are still at different stages of production. A prequel series would be based on George R. R. Martin‘s Dunk & Egg novels is now on the way, and there has been some development on that front.
Three more writers/producers join The Hedge Knight
The production of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight will be beginning very soon. HBO is gathering up a team of some of the most talented industry experts to craft the upcoming prequel. According to a recent scoop by the Wake the Dragon X account, Annie Julia Wyman (Tokyo Vice), Aziza Barnes (Snowfall) and Hiram Martinez (Snowpiercer) have joined The Hedge Knight crew. They have been called as writers as well as co-producers for the show.
