Following last week’s buzz-worthy news that a new “Game of Thrones” prequel series has been greenlit for HBO, George RR Martin, the author of the novels in which the beloved drama series was adapted from, has revealed new details about the upcoming prequel in a blog post shared to his website.

1. ‘Knight’ Will Be In The Title “We want ‘knight’ in the title,” Martin shared, noting that “knighthood and chivalry are central to the themes of these stories.” So far, the working title will be “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight”.

There Will Be More Than Just A Pilot HBO gave Martin, who will serve as writer and executive producer, and his crew the greenlight to shoot an entire season, not just a pilot.

The 74-year-old author added that the season will “most likely” be comprised of six episodes, “though that is not set in stone, and won’t be until considerably later in the process,” he wrote.
