There are a few notable names attached to the project including Paddy Considine and Rhys Ifans. Doctor Who fans will also recognize Matt Smith who will be playing Daemon Targaryen. One of the showrunners, Miguel Sapochnik, also directed some of the original series' highest-rated episodes including Battle of the Bastards.

While details about the show are still scarce, we do know it will have ten episodes in its first season and is set to premiere sometime in 2022.
