I don't think they'll do a flashback, but I think their origins will be revealed in the shows and the books.

And honestly, we know more about the Others from the show than we do from the books. The Battle of Hardhome didn't happen in the books (or at least yet), and we didn't know for a fact what happened to Craster's sons.

Yeah, the books haven't revealed that the Nights King was creating Others by turning babies. They also haven't revealed that the Nights King is the one leading the Others/White Walkers. I personally think it is goofy that the Nights King is the one apparently leading and creating WWs since the Others were probably around long before the Nights King was born, much less when he became the Nights King.

My only guess as to how the Nights King became the leader and propagator of the Others is that the original Others were wiped out during the War for the Dawn, and the Nights King happened upon the means to create them again. But if the original Others were wiped out, why build the Wall?

I think it was strongly enough hinted at for it to be a safe assumption in the books. At least I remember accepting it as fact before it was revealed in the show.
