The still-untitled Game of Thrones prequel is making fast progress.

They are joining previously announced cast members Naomi Watts, a “charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret,” and Josh Whitehouse, but all their character descriptions are being kept under wraps.
Also announced is the series’ director, S.J. Clarkson. Her impressive list of work includes episodes of Orange Is the New Black, Dexter, Bates Motel, The Defenders and Jessica Jones. She joins showrunner Jane Goldman and will executive produce as well.
The official series logline reads, “The series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend — it’s not the story we think we know.”
