I have recently gotten into Game of Thrones.  I am looking forward to seeing how it all ends
The series has been running for a long time!  it premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011, and the previous season ended on August 27, 2017!
I know Peter Dinkledge has won 2 Emmys for his role in the show
Awesome!  You're probably sad to know that the series will end next year, in 2019!
I know.  HBO is planning a prequel series that is supposed to take place several years before the show
That sounds interesting!  GOT is based on "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin - I wonder what the prequel will be based on!
I am not sure.  But it is being developed by the same people who developed Game of Thrones 
GOT was created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss - are they creating the prequel as well?
They are involved with the creative and development process
Good for them!  Weiss was born and raised in Chicago!
