While another wrote: “It should have always been about the Targaryens. And I won’t forget how wrong you did the BEST Targaryen to ever live.”
“I even predicted it yesterday. This is the best news I’ve had all year, thank you so much,” said a third fan.
The new show announcement was made soon after reports of HBO binning show Game of Thrones prequel Bloodmoon, which filmed a pilot this summer.
A source told Hollywood Reporter that the network was not happy and asked for multiple edits of the footage before it was scrapped.
The show was headed by Jane Goldman, the wife of TV presenter Jonathan Ross and set to feature Naomi Watts.
