HBO has tapped a director and brought on several new cast members for their Game of Thrones prequel pilot. TV Line reports that Toby Regbo, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, and Alex Sharp have joined the as-yet-untitled pilot as series regulars. They join the previously-announced Naomi Watts and Josh Whitehouse.

In addition, S.J. Clarkson (The Defenders, Jessica Jones) has signed on to direct the pilot. Clarkson will also executive produce the series.

The potential prequel takes place thousands of years before the main series and chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.
