Game of Thrones Prequel The Mad King Officially Returns in 2027

The Mad King lives. The Royal Shakespeare Company's sold-out stage production of Game of Thrones: The Mad King closed in Stratford-upon-Avon in September, but it's not the end for the spinoff of George R.R. Martin's prequel to Game of Thrones.

The production team has revealed that The Mad King will return to the stage in London in 2027.

Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin made the announcement on his blog in September. "I had a splendid time in Stratford-upon-Avon for the premiere of Duncan Macmillan and Dominic Cooke’s epic new stage production of Game of Thrones: The Mad King," Martin wrote, "and furthermore, I’m thrilled to announce that the production will be moving on to London to share the experience with a wider audience."

Venue and dates for the London production have not been announced. Casting has also not been confirmed, but let's hope as many of the original cast members as possible will reprise their roles. The Mad King is directed by Dominic Cooke and written by Duncan Macmillan (Every Brilliant Thing).

The stage play acts as a prequel to HBO's Game of Thrones series, itself an adaptation of Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books. The show is largely focused on the events that led up to Robert's Rebellion, namely the jousting tournament at Harrenhal. The main players in The Mad King are younger versions of familiar faces from the show, including Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon, as well as long-dead legends such as Lyanna Stark, Rhaegar Targaryen, and the Mad King himself.
