The story told dov It would be set during the Harrenhal Grand Tournament, an event that took place 16 years before the start of the events narrated in the HBO series. Below you can read what is reported in the official description:
“The show for the first time will take the audience deeper, behind the scenes of a historical event that was previously shrouded in mystery. There will be many of the most well-known and iconic characters of the series, engaged in a story centered on love, revenge, madness and the threat of a prophecy, revealing secrets and lies that have only been hinted at until now ".
According to what Martin himself reported in a statement, when nobles and commoners gathered in Harrenhal to see the best knights of the kingdom compete in a great tournament, almost no one in Westeros had the slightest idea of the carnage that it would happen some time later. This production, according to the author, will finally allow to tell, on paco, the entire story of the tournament, often mentioned during HBO's Game of Thrones, and in the series of novels, A Song of Ice & Fire.
We just have to wait to find out more, hoping that the show will be repeated in Italy as well.
