“Game of Thrones” may have come to an end in 2020, but its franchise will live on for a long time to come. Its upcoming prequel series “House of the Dragon” is slated to begin production this year, for example.

The prequel is set a few hundred years prior to the events of “Game of Thrones” and tells the story of House Targaryen and the Targaryen civil war that became known as the “Dance of the Dragons.” The series received a 10-episode order with an eye toward a 2022 debut.

“House of the Dragon” is only one of several “Game of Thrones” TV projects currently in the works. Variety exclusively reported that a “Tales of Dunk and Egg” series is in early development at HBO, while an animated “Game of Thrones” project is in the works at HBO Max.

Miss Leslie’s pregnancy was revealed in a photo taken for a magazine interview and uploaded on Instagram.

The picture, from digital publication Make Magazine, was posted on fashion editor Ursula Lake’s personal account.

“A very special all-woman team photographic shoot capturing Rose at this wonderful time as she prepares for motherhood for the first time,” she said.

The couple played Ygritte and Jon Snow in HBO series Game of Thrones, in which they had an on-screen relationship.

In the show, 33-year-old Miss Leslie’s character became known for the phrase: “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

Discussing the show for the magazine shoot, she said: “It was an incredible experience, and for me – as an actor – it definitely opened a lot of doors with casting directors and producers.”

The song, described as a quickie by many social media lovers, talks about how she was “snubbed” just two days ago when she was nominated for Best Rapper of the Year category.

On the awards night, she was tagged by many as the best performer when she appeared on the podium with a wild-fire performance cementing her rap prowess in the music industry.

Engulfed with the energy that she could win the Best Rapper of the Year, the award swerved her and the likes of Sarkodie, Strongman, Medikal, Teephlow, when Kwesi Arthur got announced as the winner.

Feeling disappointed, the female musician has dropped a new song dubbed ‘Game of Thrones’ to prove she is on top.

You should put an umbrella over my head and make all these bloggers my linguists. Tell my people that I am already reigning in the hearts of my followers. With the award, if you give it to me, I will take it, but if you don’t, I am still in the game [SIC], part of her lyrics said.

According to her, the best rapper in Ghana now is a female.

We fighting for the throne, but you already know who the King is. Four minutes into the show and the whole world talks about how the lady killed it.

Four bars ‘kraa’ you go feel me. No disrespect to no rapper but King of rap in Ghana now is a female. This is what we call a bitter truth and to accept it e go hard for you.

Addressing the VGMA snub, she likened it to a football match, thus: The referee says it’s a foul not a goal so what do I have to say? I am an icon and I don’t need to blow my own horns. If you say you are the best then who am I? she queried.

This comes a year and a few months after the couple tied the knot having dated for several years before that.

The 24-year-old star gave birth on Wednesday, July 22, at a hospital in Los Angeles, US, according to TMZ.

The couple kept the details private but word has it the newborn was given the name Willa, which has a connection to the famous GOT show.

The fans went on social media noting two minor characters appeared on the show bearing the same name.

On Monday, actor Idris Elba also said he’d tested positive for coronavirus.

Emmy-winning “Game of Thrones” director Miguel Sapochnik will return to direct the pilot as well as additional episodes. He will serve as co-showrunner alongside Ryan Condal, the former co-creator and showrunner of USA Network’s “Colony” series, who’s also writing the pilot. Martin and Vince Gerardis are on board as executive producers, making the new team setting “Game of Thrones” future entirely male.

Earlier Tuesday, HBO nixed plans for another prequel series from writer and showrunner Jane Goldman. Even after shooting a pilot and acquiring a big name star (Naomi Watts), network executives decided not to move forward with their first-choice spinoff.

“House of the Dragon” is indeed focused on the formation of House Targaryen, a family line that eventually produced the mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. Don’t expect an Emilia Clarke appearance, however, as the prequel series is set 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.”

“The ‘Game of Thrones’ universe is so rich with stories,” Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming, said in a statement. “We look forward to exploring the origins of House Targaryen and the earlier days of Westeros along with Miguel, Ryan, and George.”

Sapochnik won an Emmy for directing the famous “Battle of the Bastards,” but he also helmed well-regarded episodes like “Hardhome” and “Winds of Winter.” His next project is the Amblin Studios’ film, “Bios,” starring Tom Hanks, which is set for release in fall 2020.

While Goldman’s “Game of Thrones” spinoff was given the green light to shoot a pilot back in June 2018, this latest prequel series was first reported in September 2019, not long after the series finale of the original show. Then, it was reported that Condal was reworking a pilot idea from the original five “Game of Thrones” spinoffs HBO was developing, based on a pitch originally developed by Bryan Cogman.

The state of the other “Game of Thrones” spinoffs are still undecided, save for Goldman’s now-dismissed pilot.
