Tyrion has almost none, dude is like 20 when the series starts.
Oberyn, Davos, Stannis, Aegon I, are good prequel candidates.

The only problem with prequels is that they have be worthy to watch when everyone already knows where it will be headed. HBO's problem is that all of those lead directly to GoT... with the craptastic last two seasons. Thus destroying any rewatchability. And anything associated with it.

It doesn't matter if it is prequel or sequel (conceptually, something like HotD is hardly a prequel anyway), all that matters is if there is a story worth telling in its own right. Links to preexisting material can never be the main reason for the existence of the new project, if they are it's bound to fail. Don't make additional shows as an easy way to get GoT fans on board because they love character X, Y or Z, don't make 'content'. Create shows which have a real vision, something which works on its own based on its own merits. That's what's important.

How about a Blackfish show, not really a prequel but a parallel telling of the GOT event from his point of view, all the way to the battle where he "died offscreen".

Bump. As expected House of Dragons is the only thing keeping GoT house of cards together, and with no future show they must be hoping that GRRM finishes the books so they can establish somewhat story to work off of.
The Jon Snow-centric Game of Thrones HBO spinoff series that might have offered a glimpse of the events after the finale is on "the shelf," actor Kit Harington says.
Back in 2022, series creator George R.R. Martin confirmed HBO was working on a Jon Snow spin-off with the working title "Snow." According to Martin, Harington was developing the series with his own team. Speaking with Screen Rant, Harington revealed the spin-off series is "firmly on the shelf," citing his team's challenge to craft the right story as the cause.
"Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough. So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being," Harington told Screen Rant. "There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but at the moment, no. It's firmly on the shelf."
During a Game of Thrones fan convention in 2022, Harington hinted that his spin-off would focus on his character's struggle to overcome past traumas off the heels of season 8's finale.
"He's gotta go back up to the place with all this history and live out his life thinking about how he killed Dany, and live out his life thinking about Ygritte dying in his arms, and live out his life thinking about how he hung Olly, and live out his life thinking about all of this trauma, and that, that's interesting," Harington said at the time.
Snow now joins The Long Night as another scrapped Game of Thrones spinoff project. The Long Night — whose pilot episode reportedly cost HBO $30 million — was canceled in 2019 on the same day HBO greenlit House of the Dragon.
WarnerMedia chairman Rober Greenblatt explained The Long Night's cancelation in 2022, saying "it didn't have that depth and richness that th originl series' pilot did."
In other Game of Thrones spinoff news, House of the Dragon season 2 is slated to release on June 16 on HBO Max. Likewise, the Game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, arrives late 2025.

Likewise, the Game of Thrones prequel series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, arrives late 2025. Source Between HotD and Hedge Knight (assuming the Hedge Knight is recieved well) they've got a good 7-8 years of television. Decent amount of time to figure out where to go with the franchise from there.

House of the Dragon was surprisingly good. I did not expect that at all. The time jumps and actor changes did throw me off, though. But just as those decisions were bold, so was many of the other writing. I didn't like the dragon killing everyone during the crowning, though. So I hope in season 2 they can keep things on the rails.
