A new set photo for HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones prequel series starring Academy Award-nominee Naomi Watts teases that mammoths will have a presence in the highly-anticipated new spinoff series that will take viewers back into Westeros thousands of years before the events of the hit series that just finished its eight year run, consisting of 72 episodes.
Production on the Naomi Watts-led Game of Thrones prequel is well underway, and a new photo that has emerged reveals not only a hint at some specific location filming is taking place, but also hints at the presence of mammoths in the series. You can check out the set photo down below:

This orange sign featuring the mammoth is shown pointing in the same parallel direction as the brown sign, which says “Marbel Arch Caves”, where filming is being held. While an orange sign featuring a mammoth is being used in this case, the original Game of Thrones series had pink signs that said “GOT” on them to signify that production was underway.
Naomi Watts and Josh Whitehouse are set to star in the Game of Thrones spinoff. Joining them are Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Shella Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp and Toby Regbo. Character and plot details are being kept under wraps, but it has been revealed that the series will take place thousands of years before the events of HBO’s blockbuster series and Naomie Watts is set to play a “charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret.”
