In the vast world of television series, spinoffs have become a popular way to expand on beloved fictional universes. However, not all spinoffs see the light of day, and one such project that fell victim to this fate was the Game of Thrones prequel series known as 'Bloodmoon.' Directed by S.J. Clarkson, the pilot episode of 'Bloodmoon' garnered praise from the director herself, highlighting the exceptional script by Jane Goldman and the incredible talent of actor Naomi Watts.
The premise of 'Bloodmoon' revolved around exploring the history of the enigmatic White Walkers, thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones. This would have meant delving into a time period that predates the Iron Throne and even the arrival of the Targaryens and their powerful dragons in the land of Westeros. While it certainly offered a unique opportunity to explore the White Walker lore and the first Long Night, it also presented a challenge in terms of connecting with the familiar elements of the original show.
