'Game of Thrones' finale: Fire, ice, death and betrayal
Fox411: 'Game of Thrones' ended its seventh season with a big character death, a big lineage reveal, an expected yet gross hookup and one big fiery cliffhanger ending
“Game of Thrones” fans are one step closer to getting more fantasy-world action from HBO, with the network reportedly ordering a pilot for a new prequel to the show.
The installment is one of five potential developments connected to the series, Variety reported. HBO PR's Twitter account retweeted the Variety report.
Writer Jane Goldman, who was tapped to be the prequel’s showrunner, developed her prequel concept alongside George R.R. Martin, who wrote the novel series that inspired the hugely popular show, the outlet said. The pair will reportedly also serve as executive producers, in addition to Daniel Zelman and Vince Gerardis.

The eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” is set to debut in 2019.
