‘Game Of Thrones’ Prequel Series Confirms Long-Standing Fan Theory
The HBO prequel series for Game of Thrones, which will probably be called “The Long Night,” has been reported as being set 10,000 years before the events of the current series. And that’s wrong.
In a new Entertainment Weekly interview, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin gave fans the scoop on the upcoming series. According to him, and he would definitely know, the prequel series is set 5,000 years before Daenerys Targaryen brought the dragons back to life and set sail for Westeros.
And if you’re one of the fans that has tried to trace the timeline of the history of Westeros, that information just blew your mind.
Martin’s confirmation of the time frame for the prequel confirms a long-standing fan theory that was hinted at in Game of Thrones by fan favorite character Sam Tarly. Many believe that this character is actually George R.R. Martin himself, so anything he says is studied, pondered, and widely discussed.
