Also joining the cast are Sheila Atim and Denise Gough.

George R.R. Martin and Jane Goldman will write the pilot episode.

Goldman has writing credits for 'Kingsman: The Secret Service', 'Kick-Ass' and 'X-Men: First Class'.

According to HBO, the series takes place approximately 5,000 years before Game of Thrones.

We'll learn about the origins of the White Walkers and the "horrifying secrets of Westeros's history".

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Martin revealed the Westeros of the new series is a very different place.

"There's no King's Landing. There's no Iron Throne. There are no Targaryens."

He continued, "We're dealing with a different and older world and hopefully that will be part of the fun of the series."

The series remains untitled.

However, Martin has said he would prefer the title 'The Long Night'.

Coming on to direct the nameless project is S.J. Clarkson.

She has previously worked on 'Orange Is The New Black' and 'Jessica Jones'.

While this series is yet to get a release date we know that the final installment of Game of Thrones will return this April.
