At the premiere screening of ''Baby Ruby', when asked if he has watched the prequel, Harington said, "I'm really enjoying it." "My friend Miguel [Sapochnik] show-run it, so I'm really enjoying it. I think they've done a fantastic job," Harington told Entertainment Tonight Canada.

"It was Kit Harington who brought the idea to us," Martin wrote on his personal website. "I cannot tell you the names of the writers/showrunners since that has not been cleared for release yet… but Kit brought them in too, his own team, and they are terrific."
