The Game of Thrones prequel series is currently filming in Italy, and a photo from the set has now been shared online.
The pic gives us our first look at star Naomi Watts decked out in her mysterious character's extravagant outfit. The color of her dress might have led us to assume she was playing a Lannister, but George R.R. Martin has already confirmed that the most powerful family in Westeros won't actually appear.
HBO has done an admirable job of keeping plot and character details firmly under wraps, but we do know that the show will be set thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones and will likely build towards The White Walkers' first attempt to wipe out humankind, aka The Long Night.
Jane Goldman (X-Men: First Class) is on board as showrunner, while S.J. Clarkson (Jessica Jones) will helm the pilot.
The cast also includes Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Miranda Richardson, Josh Whitehouse, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Alex Sharp and Toby Regbo in undisclosed roles. The working title is "Bloodmoon," but that's expected to change. The spinoff is set to air sometime next year.
