- HBO produced a pilot episode for the Game of Thrones spin-off ‘Blood Moon’ before cancelling the series, and the episode has not been released except for the leaked footage.
- The Blood Moon pilot episode, which featured Naomi Watts, focused on the Casterly family, the ancestors of the Lannister family, and drew fans in with its opulent costumes and set design.
- Blood Moon was set thousands of years before Game of Thrones and was intended to explore the origins of the White Walkers, among other things, but its lack of source material and the success of ‘House of the Dragon’ led to its cancellation.
When the final season of Game of Thrones aired, HBO announced that they were planning four Game of Thrones spin-offs. One of them is 'House of the Dragon', which has already successfully completed its first season, and another is 'Bloodmoon', which only produced a pilot episode.

In the summer of 2019, the Bloodmoon production team spent $30 million to make the pilot episode. In American TV series, they only produce one episode as a sample, and the production company decides whether or not to produce a full season after seeing it. HBO reviewed the pilot episode of Bloodmoon and decided to cancel the production of the series.
Since then, the pilot episode has not been seen by anyone. It is said that even George Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, could not see this pilot episode.
However, a scene featuring actress Naomi Watts was recently leaked.

Naomi Watts was expected to appear in Game of Thrones as a woman from the Casterly family, the ancestors of the Lannister family. Naomi Watts' glamorous attire and hairstyle are attracting fans' attention. Also, the Casterly Rock set, the home of the Lannister family, was so meticulously crafted that many people regret the $30 million spent on it.

The reason seems obvious. There is no original work for this series. Game of Thrones was produced with an unfinished original work, and as a result, it ended with the worst anticlimax ever. HBO has already decided to produce 'House of the Dragon', which is based on a published original work.
This series was set thousands of years before Game of Thrones. Jane Goldman, the screenwriter of Bloodmoon, had said that this spin-off series would cover the origins of the White Walkers, among other things. White Walkers were an important element in Game of Thrones, but their origins were only hinted at and never addressed.

Even in 2019, a scene from the filming of Bloodmoon was leaked. Some men were riding a longships, and the Stark family's coat of arms was also attached, in its primitive form.
From the leaked scenes and the writer's story, Bloodmoon seems like it could have been a very appealing work. However, 'House of the Dragon' is so good that I hope HBO will focus on the already-airing prequel for a while.
