Is This The First Leaked Image From Game Of Thrones Prequel Bloodmoon?

You may have felt robbed following the Game of Thrones finale, but don't even try and deny that you're excited all over again for the prequel - it's almost like the disappointment never existed.

But if you're still feeling a little bitter about it all, then perhaps the first image from the new series surfacing online might sort things out...? Yep, it seems to have leaked already, despite the show having no official release date yet. Well, it was only a matter of time.

The picture - which claims to have snapped Naomi Watts in full costume - was shared back in July but it seems to have taken all this time to catch people's attention.

And if it's genuine, giving fans a sneak peek of the eagerly-anticipated series, you're all sure to be ecstatic about it, right? Especially seeing as details have been rare thus far.

HBO announced the cast for the upcoming prequel, believed to be titled Bloodmoon, which will reportedly be set thousands of years before the scenes that have played out on our tellies.

The big name on the list is Naomi Watts, who has starred in King Kong, The Impossible and The Ring. She'll be joined by Josh Whitehouse (Poldark), Jamie Campbell Bower (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and Georgie Henley (Chronicles of Narnia).

Speaking with net-a-porter, Watts said: "I didn't start watching until I was approached about this job. But my brother [photographer Ben Watts], who is heavily into it, told me, 'Under no circumstances are you going to turn this down.'"

Also named in the cast are Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: Episode IX), Denise Gough (Robin Hood), Ivanno Jeremiah (Humans) Toby Regbo (The Last Kingdom), Alex Sharp (To The Bone) and Sheila Atim.

No word yet on what their characters will be and whether they form the ancestry of House Stark, Baratheon, Lannister, Tyrell, Arryn, Targaryen, Tully, Greyjoy or Martell.

The only information we have is a very vague plot, which is: "(The prequel) chronicles the world's descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.

"From the horrifying secrets of Westeros's history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: It's not the story we think we know."
