Flora Moody doesn’t get into any reasoning behind why HBO canceled the show, but she clearly enjoyed her time working on it regardless. It was previously announced that the show would’ve been set thousands of years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and would’ve heavily featured the white walkers. Not much else is known about Naomi Watts’ character, although a description from Variety back in 2018 describes her role as being “a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret.” However, no name has been revealed as of yet, but @irishgirldutchpour comments on the first Moody Instagram post, “Wow!! Was she a Lannister? Amazing hair and dress.”
Lannisters are known for their lustrous golden locks, which Watts has in spades. Of course, nothing can be confirmed at this time. She wouldn’t have been the only draw, as some majorly impressive talent would’ve backed up Watts. Other cast members would’ve included Jamie Campbell Bower, Naomi Ackie, Josh Whitehouse, and Denise Gough, among others. Even all this wasn’t enough to salvage what HBO executives thought was a poor follow-up to the original series.
The show was scrapped, but “House of the Dragon” would eventually blaze a path onto HBO. Another spin-off is also in the works, titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight,” which will be a prequel series drawing from the works of George R.R. Martin. However, this Naomi Watts show will remain an all-time great TV “What If.” Maybe someday, we’ll learn more about what this show would’ve been.
