HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Teaser Poster Reveals Series Will Premiere on HBO This August
Game of Thrones did really well up until the last season or so, and HBO has been hard at work mining that chunk of gold for all its worth. The upcoming drama series House of the Dragon recently got a release date for August 21. Fans only have to wait about 4.5 months before they get more content in The Known World.
This spin-off series is based on the Fire & Blood series by George R.R. Martin and tells the story of House Targaryen 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. The series stars Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans. Are you excited to watch House of the Dragon?
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.
House of the Dragon will premiere on HBO on August 21 and will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
