The cast of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel is coming together.
Naomi Watts is taking on a role of a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret.
The story chronicles how the golden Age of Heroes leaps into its darkest hour.
Only one thing is for sure: From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend — it’s not the story we think we know.
The 8 young actors are mostly big names from theatre or specialised in period drama.
Jamie Campbell Bower, young Grindelwald and shadowhunter.
