Fire Reigns in New Poster for HBO's GAME OF THRONES: HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
HBO has released a new poster for its upcoming fantasy epic Game of Thrones: House of The Dragon. The poster features Emma D’arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen standing in front of a menacing dragon. You can check out the new poster below, which came with the caption: “Fire will Reign.”
The series is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and it tells the story of House Targaryen. Here’s the synopsis:
Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.
What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.
The series stars also Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen, Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower, Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon, Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole, and more.
The 10-episode series will be released at some point in 2022. Check out the trailer and tell us what you think!
