GAME OF THRONES prequel title seemingly revealed by George R.R. Martin

Author George R.R. Martin has seemingly revealed the title of his Game of Thrones prequel. Martin was tweeting out the news we brought you yesterday that Naomi Watts will take the lead role in the series.

Buried in the text of his tweet were the words “Casting is now underway for THE LONG NIGHT…”. Could this be the title of the new series? Though none of the trades has reported the title it could be an exclusive from the A Song of Ice and Fire author. Or it could simply be the shows working title.

Checkout his tweet below:
