Congratulations to Naomi Watts for landing a lead role in the "Game of Thrones" prequel, "The Long Night."

George RR Martin gave little detail into her character, but did say that Naomi will be playing "a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret."

According to Page Six, the prequel will take place "thousands of years before the events of 'Game of Thrones' and will delve into the history of Westeros, the origin of the white walkers, and more."

This series is just one of five "Game of Thrones" projects for HBO, and may never even see the light of day.
The last season of "Game of Thrones" comes to HBO next year.
