House of the Dragon

HBO's Game Of Thrones prequel (and so many blonde wigs) are coming.

A character says, “Knives will come out,” and the next shot is of Prince Daemon (Matt Smith) being threatened with a knife. A voiceover reminds us that “your family has dragons” over footage of a scorched field. A different character proclaims, “War is afoot” over a shot of two factions squaring off to battle. Reminiscent of the thematically appropriate instrumental covers he became known for in his second HBO outing, this trailer features Djawadi’s orchestra-heavy cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Venus In Furs.” It’s a bit of an obvious choice, as the mashup literally features beautiful women wearing furs. The budget is enormous (seriously, the dragons looks amazing). And the battles are as muddy as ever. While we all know that no one has a better story than Bran the Broken (sigh), it is actually quite nice to revisit this world with a completely new cast of characters that a certain showrunning duo won’t have a chance to get their grubby hands on.

The 10-part series, starring Matt Smith and Emma D'Arcy as members of the feuding Targaryen, is due for release on August 21.

Valyrian steel [has] a fixed number of assets in the world.’ ‘It’s a line to walk in terms of things that you bring back from the original show and pass in a different way.’ It led to countless fan theories but, in a recently published interview with Entertainment Weekly, House of the Dragon creator Ryan Condal explained: ‘[It’s] 200 years before the original show. A teaser trailer for the anticipated show first dropped in October last year. When I heard the sound of thundering hooves, splintering shields and ringing swords, and I placed my heir upon the iron throne, and all the dragons roared as one.’ We’re then reintroduced to the Iron Throne and narration from Daemon Targaryen (Smith), who says: ‘The dream, it was clearer than a memory.

Fans react to the House of the Dragon trailer Yes, House of the Dragon is a prequel to the Game of Thrones series and will follow House Targaryen – Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors. As it is firmly rooted in the Game of Thrones universe, fans of the franchise are interested to know when in the timeline House of the Dragon takes place and we confirm if the series is a prequel.

Exclusive: Ryan Condal, the co-creator and co-showrunner of House of the Dragon, opens up about being George R.R. Martin's handpicked writer for the Game of ...

Rhaenyra is her own person who was born into this time of extreme power, wealth, and decadence whereas Daenerys was born a pauper because this dynasty fell—largely as a result of events in this story.” “It is very much a story about a patriarchy told through the point-of-view of two women.” This begins with the day Viserys names his firstborn daughter Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock in her youth, Emma D’Arcy later) as his heir, even as he’s urged to take a second wife in hopes of producing a son. [Daemon] is similarly a bit of a rogue prince trying to find his footing and place in this world.” Whereas Game of Thrones began in the 17th uneasy year of Robert Baratheon’s reign, House of the Dragon picks up 105 years after Aegon Targaryen I conquered Westeros and founded King’s Landing. It is there we’ll be introduced to a host of Targaryens of various political ambitions and a whole palace of new courtiers. “The trick with this story is it’s multi-generational,” Condal says. He’s the second fiddle, in that case to the Queen of England, his own wife, and is a bit adrift. Yet there’s an undeniable excitement in Condal’s voice while discussing the new show; he’s eager for fans to discover a different era of Westeros, one set about 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. “This is just a very decadent time,” Condal says. He first read the earliest books after the third novel A Storm of Swords was published in 2000, discovering the saga while fresh out of college. The two became acquainted in 2012, and Martin seemed eager to get Condal into Westeros ever since. “I thought we were just getting together socially,” Condal recalls in 2022, “but he said, ‘I need you to write a pilot for me.

Djawadi’s music came to be one of the most important elements of Game of Thrones, so it’s thrilling news for fans that those ominous and brilliant melodies will continue to tie all the drama together. He has also been listed as the director for the first episode of the series. And so the series follows all the drama. It’s still set in Westeros, the continent where most of the events of Game of Thrones also took place. For an idea of a time frame, the first Targaryen king rules between 1 AC - 37 AC, with King Viserys I ruling from 103 AC onwards.

While there are other Westeros-related series in development, “House of the Dragon” is the only confirmed “Game of Thrones” spinoff show — so far.

Martin’s book “Fire & Blood,” “House of the Dragon” will follow the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war between siblings Aegon II and Rhaenyra, who fought for the throne after the death of their father.

But that should be one scene at most. We'll skip ahead some years to meet with key characters like Rhaenrya Targaryen and Alicent Hightower in their youths, ...
