HBO has greenlighted highly anticipated fantasy series "Game of Thrones."

The premium network has picked up the project for a first season debut next spring (below is the first released photo from the series). Nine episodes plus the pilot have been ordered. Production will begin in Belfast this June.

Let's hope that this doesn't go the way of Legend of the Seeker, and takes more of a tack consistent with HBO's previous works, but without turning off the tap early, a la Rome.
