Game of Thrones prequel is now taking shape, although details about the show remain scarce. HBO has announced the spinoff's official cast but has yet to reveal their roles. One of the stars that will make her way to the new series is the Oscar-nominated actress Miranda Richardson, who dropped little hints of what fans might expect.
In an interview with Digital Spy for her upcoming new series, Good Omens, Richardson talked about the Game of Thrones prequel. The 61-year-old star admitted she loved the original series' storytelling and the "wish and will" are to continue it to the spinoff.
However, there will be a new set of elements and people in the new series. "The craftsmen are the same - there is a base team that is the same, and their work has been phenomenal throughout," she said.
The Sleepy Hollow star even said she is thrilled to be a part of the Game of Thrones prequel. The show's production is said to have begun this month, but Richardson seems to start filming her scenes yet.
Richardson told Metro.co.uk she is just about to go to Ireland and start filming for her role. Although it seems late for her character, she is very happy to be in the series.
However, the Harry Potter actress remains mum about her role. She only said she would be the "human clam" in the Game of Thrones prequel and it is what she would be known for. She also revealed she has yet to meet the new series' co-writer and A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin.
HBO has yet to announce who will be making the jump in the new series, although it was earlier revealed the Game of Thrones horse mistress Camilla Naprous will continue to provide equines for the show. It still has a working title Bloodmoon and remains to be at the pilot stage.
According to the fan site Winter is Coming, HBO also has yet to order for a full series as it initially wants to see if the pilot will meet the network's standards. Martin, on the other hand, revealed there might be at least three more spinoffs that would be the work.
However, HBO overseer Bob Greenblat opposed the claim, saying he doesn't want to "kill the golden goose" by commissioning too many spinoffs. "There's a prequel in production, but just a pilot so that we can see if it has all the goods and is it worthy of going forward," he said.
