, has debuted its official trailer — and it's a spectacle!Based on George R.R. Martin's 2018 novel, Fire & Blood, the anticipated prequel is set 200 years before the events of the original series and tells the story of the House Targaryen. In the nearly three-minute trailer, released three days before its San Diego Comic-Con appearance Saturday, the question of who is the rightful heir to the throne becomes the catalyst for the tension and dramatics that soon unfold.«I will not be made to choose between my brother and my daughter,» King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) declares.But some in the Targaryen clan are taking matters into their own hands, with the king's younger brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), anointing himself the successor.But the king's daughter, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy), has her sights set on being queen, even though that is «not the order of things.» «When I am queen, I will create a new order,» she says. «War is afoot.» It most certainly is.

Scratching a years-long itch endured by fans of the hit HBO fantasy series “Game Of Thrones,” the network finally released a full trailer for its prequel series, “House Of The Dragon.” Based on George R.R Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the narrative of “House Of The Dragon” will unfold 200 years before the events of “Game Of Thrones,” focusing on the story of House Targaryen and the events preceding the Targaryen civil war.

HBO bosses have said the first Game Of Thrones spin-off was cancelled because it lacked the “depth and richness” of the original series.The show, under the working title Bloodmoon, was originally announced in 2018 and took place 8,000 years before events in Game Of Thrones. The pilot of the show, starring Naomi Watts and Jamie Campbell Bower, reportedly cost between $30million and $35million (£29million) to shoot.Despite the huge budget, Bloodmoon was cancelled by HBO in 2019 before it saw the light of day. The announcement was coupled with the reveal of a new spin-off, House Of The Dragon, set to premiere on August 21.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO chief content officer, Casey Bloys, addressed the show’s cancellation.

Prior to the release of the final season of “Game of Thrones,” HBO was apparently knee-deep in developing a number of projects that would keep the franchise going. But as we now know, that process would extend years and lead to a failed pilot, multiple ditched prequel ideas, and finally, only one new series, “House of the Dragon.” And according to those working on the projects, HBO was a little scared to venture too far off the ‘Thrones’ path with its follow-up series.

House Of The Dragon, the forthcoming prequel to Game Of Thrones, is set to be honoured with its own set of Funko POP! figures.Set 200 years before events in the flagship series, House Of The Dragon is based on George R.R.

Game of Thrones prequels is some of the most awaited shows in the world after season 8 ended. GOT has six prequel shows in progression and one on-stage theatrical production for Broadway and such venues.

With all that talk around the Game Of Thrones' prequel, we finally have a major update on one of them. The House of the Dragon has now officially gone into production as announced by HBO.

In case all the Warner Bros. and Disney news made you forget, it was only a year ago that the world collectively sighed and declared the end of “Game of Thrones” a huge disappointment.

To say that HBO bungled the end of “Game of Thrones” is a bit of an understatement. Sure, we shouldn’t really blame the network for what was clearly the wrong creative decision to cram so much story in the final season (maybe the final two seasons, depending on your own opinion) of the show that spent so much of its time establishing characters and conflict.

Forget the winter, the dragons are coming and they have found their king! Almost a year after HBO announced House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, the network has now revealed one of the leading men of the show. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that The Outsider star Paddy Considine has been roped in to play one of the key roles on the show.

While 2019 saw the controversial end to Game of Thrones, HBO will continue to capitalize on the hysteria surrounding the complex George R.R. Martin universe with a prequel titled House of the Dragon.
