House of the Dragon coming 21st August!
 

That's showrunner Ryan Condal and author George RR Martin on the upcoming Game of Thrones (GoT) prequel, House of the Dragon, which swoops onto HBO on 21 August.

Fans of Thrones, the endlessly feud-filled fantasy epic that became one of the most successful series in television history, can be reassured it'll have much in common with the original.

But those still furious about the divisive finale to season eight will want to know: Is it worth investing their time and emotions in yet more conniving candidates for the Iron Throne?

Here's what we learned about the series on Saturday, as the cast and creators revealed an extended trailer at Comic-Con San Diego - so you can judge for yourself.
House Of The Dragon is set 200 years before Game Of Thrones, and follows the fortunes of the Targaryens - a noble family with the power to control dragons.

It's based on George RR Martin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood, in which the Targaryens unleash the worst imaginable family row - a gruesome civil war.

King Viserys (Paddy Considine) sits on the Iron Throne, the most dangerous chair in Westeros, as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. And the succession is proving competitive.

"I will not be made to choose between my brother and my daughter!" he rages in the extended trailer for the series. As Viserys is described as a decent man, a good king who believes in duty, the brutal forces of Westeros will likely contrive to crush that goal like Gregor Clegane crushes skulls. (No spoilers…)

House of the Dragon coming 21st August!
 

Just watched the one hour long ‘trailer’ program on Sky Atlantic !!


Sky Demand

Enter The House of the Dragon



They discuss in some depth all the main characters and show quite a few little taster clips without showing any spoilers !!


Supposedly there will be nearly TWENTY dragons and all will be far , far larger than the three we are so familiar with ..



It all looks amazing and there is so much scope as regards future storyline paths

Oh and as regards the casting ..

Why were Sea-Snake family kids all handsome and beautiful yet the King and Queen’s two sons were almost grotesque in comparison !?!

Maybe there's a narrative reason for it is my guess.

That’s definitely feasible as the sons and their grandpa are all evil

Well men are evil in the House Of The Dragon world after all.:laugh:

But seriously, I get what you mean, it's a classic Fantasy trope to make villains look ugly.

That's why I don't know what happened on GOT with Cersei and Daenerys.:joker:

Love this show so much looking forward to episode 2 season 2

Same !!!

I will watch last week’s episode again tonight or tomorrow before watching Episode 2 LIVE at 2am :)
