HBO shared a new featurette for the next one game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon. The video focuses on making the epic fantasy series and offers interviews with the creative team as well as highlights some footage of the big and crazy pieces. The video features interviews with the creator Giorgio RR Martinco-showrunner Ryan Condaland co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik. It looks like this series is going to be awesome!
The series is based on Giorgio RR Martin’S Fire & Blood series, set 300 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 dragon lords 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 hold that iconic seat, until the civil war that nearly 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.
House of the Dragon stars Paddy Considine like King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith like Prince Daemon Targaryen, Rhys Ifans like Otto Hightower, Emma D’Arcy like Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, 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.
House of the Dragon will be released on August 12, 2022.
