Game of Thrones spin-off Bloodmoon/The Long Night was scrapped after its pilot had been filmed with no public release, but now fans are able to see Naomi Watts' character in costume.
Hair and makeup artist Flora Moody has shared a video on Instagram showcasing how Watts appeared in the Thrones prequel series, and she looks very regal dressed in various shades of gold and draped in jewellery. The interior environment she's in also seems to have a brightly-lit mural on the wall.

Not much was known about the show, except that it was set in Westeros' Age of Heroes, a time period that also featured a major invasion from overseas, the forming of several notable Houses, and the first appearance of the White Walkers.
Watts' character, meanwhile, was described as "a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret."
Naomi Ackie, who was set to star alongside Watts in the series, reacted to the news of the cancellation back in 2019.

"It's an industry in which things happen, things get put down, I'm just really excited about what is out there for me now," she said. "That was a great project, it didn't work out. I'm ready to look for more stuff.
"[I’m] taking it in my stride. This industry will throw you about left, right and centre so you've got to take it in your stride!"
Since then, fellow prequel House of the Dragon made it to screens and is set to premiere season 2 in the summer, while Tales of Dunk and Egg adaptation A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has been given a series order, although the strikes put it on pause before much pre-production began.
George R R Martin has stated that he feels like a few animated projects are close to getting greenlit, while a Jon Snow spin-off has been teased by certain cast and crew.
House of the Dragon airs on HBO in the US and on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. Season 2 has been confirmed and is due to air in mid 2024. Game of Thrones seasons 1-8 are available on DVD and Blu-ray.
