HBO has dropped a new trailer for Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, giving us the best look yet at its characters and story yet.
Based on George R.R Martin’s novel “Fire & Blood,” House of the Dragon is set around 200 years before the events of the Game of Thrones TV series. Its first season will consist of 10 episodes.
The House of the Dragon story centres on the once-powerful Targaryen family who rules the lands of Westeros. Depicting the early years of the Targaryen reign, Princess Rhaenyra is being primed for the Iron Throne of Kings Landing.
However, her forthcoming reign will not be without its challengers and thus we witness the birth of a civil war within the family, and presumably, the death of the mighty dragons.
Blood will shed!
House of the Dragon will premiere on HBO Max in the US on August 21st this year. For the UK, if Game of Thrones is anything to go by, House of the Dragon will air on Sky Atlantic at around the game time. Hopefully.
HBO has also released posters on Twitter for the various characters featured in the House of the Dragon series. Fingers crossed this series won’t plummet like that final season of Game of Thrones.
