'Game of Thrones' Prequel Series Cancelled
Considering that it was one of the most popular and successful television shows on the planet, it's no surprise that HBO would want to make several spinoff shows for Game of Thrones. But one of them isn't moving forward.
Deadline reported that the premium network will not be moving forward with the untitled Game of Thrones prequel series starring Naomi Watts. Created by George R.R. Martin, the series would take place thousands of years before the events of the original story and detail the Age of Heroes in Westeros before The Long Night, when The White Walkers invaded and almost destroyed the world. A full pilot was ordered and then shot, but it looks like the pilot is now dead.

There are other Game of Thrones spinoffs still in development, though. This includes a series centered around House Targaryan and their eventual demise, roughly a few hundred years before Games of Thrones. Though a pilot has not been ordered, the project is still in development.

'Game of Thrones' Releases Exclusive Single-Malt Whiskies!
Are you starved for Game of Thrones content? Parched, perhaps? Well, until the final season comes out, you can quench your thirst on some new, Game of Thrones themed whiskies! According to Men's Journal, HBO has teamed up with Johnnie Walker brand Diego to create eight bottles of special-edition whiskey. The first seven correspond to the notable Houses of Game of Thrones, while the last one is an all black version representing the Night's Watch. HBO has previously teamed up with breweries to make drinks such as 'Queen of the Seven Kingdoms' and 'King of the North'. They even produced a White Walker themed drink, which no doubt has quite the kick to it.

The different whiskies were brewed at different Scottish distilleries, each corresponding to the countries of the GOT's universe. The aim was to brew the drinks to be as close to the fictional lands they hail from as possible, with the added flair of Scottish character into the mix. The bottles are available now and while we wait for the upcoming new season, you can binge the first seven seasons, with one of these cups in hand. Which bottle would you choose? House Stark? House Targaryen? Let us know in the comments!
