Game of Thrones Prequel TV show is reportedly dead in the water

Remember when Game of Thrones ended and we caught wind of HBO making a prequel series that would explore the events before Westeros' seven kingdoms? Well, apparently that idea has been abandoned.

According to a new report coming out of Deadline, the prequel series is now dead in the water. Jane Goldman the writer and showrunner for the prequel series has reportedly been sending emails out to cast and crew about the project, telling them that the pilot not going to happen.

At the moment HBO hasn't commented on whether or not the prequel will go ahead, but for the time being it doesn't seem very likely. According to Game of Thrones writer, George R.R Martin, the Game of Thrones prequel show would concentrate on Westeros in the era when it had 100 petty kingdoms, more on that here.
