HBO has released a new poster for its upcoming fantasy epic Game of Thrones: The House of the Dragon. The poster presents Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen standing in front of a menacing dragon. You can check out the new poster below, which arrived with the caption: “Fire will reign”.
The series is based on Giorgio RR Martin’S Fire & Blood series, set 200 years before the events of game of Thrones, and tells the story of House Targaryen. Here is the synopsis:
Centuries before the events of Game of Thrones, House Targaryen, the only family of dragonlords to survive the Fate of Valyria, settled on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their story with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to tell the generations of Targaryens who fought to keep that iconic seat, until the civil war that almost destroyed their dynasty.
What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after Destiny? What were the worst crimes of Maegor the Cruel? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are just some of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, told by a learned Citadel master and with over eighty brand new black and white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small portions of this narrative in volumes such as The World of Ice and Fire, but now, for the first time, the entire tapestry of Targaryen’s story is revealed.
The series is also the protagonist Paddy Considine like King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith like Prince Daemon Targaryen, Rhys Ifans like Otto Hightower, Olivia Cooke like Alicent Hightower, Steve Toussaint like Lord Corlys Velaryon, Best Eva like Princess Rhaenys Velaryon, Sonoya Mizuno like Misaria, Fabien Frankel like Ser Criston Cole and more.
The 10 episode series will be released sometime in 2022. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
Fire will reign.
