HBO announced Game of Thrones prequel which was said to set 8,000 years before the original show. An official synopsis was released, “Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. From the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: It’s not the story we think we know.”

However, the prequel was reportedly cancelled due to lengthy post-production and issue in filming in Northern Island.  Nevertheless, another GOT spin-off, House of Dragons is still under production. It is speculated to release in 2021 or 2022.
