The history of House Targaryen is told in a series set 200 years before the events of ‘Game of Thrones.’
By Omotayo Olutekunbi
House of the Dragon, HBO’s long-awaited Game of Thrones prequel series, has been given a release date. The series will premiere on the network on August 21.
The series will take place more than 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and will follow the tumultuous and fiery lives of the Targaryen family, who are still ruling Westeros at the time the series takes place. The series is based on the book Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones’ lone, true Targaryen heir, Daenerys Targaryen, wreaked death and destruction on King’s Landing before her own death, giving viewers a glimpse of the Targaryens’ destruction and mayhem.
King Viseys’ younger brother and heir to the throne, Prince Daemon Targaryen, will be played by Matt Smith. He is a well-known dragon-rider and a decorated warrior. Emma D’Arcy, Paddy Considine, and Eve Best, who play significant Targaryen roles, join him on the set. Milly Alcock, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Emily Carey, Harry Collett, Ryan Corr, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jefferson Hall, David Horovitch, Wil Johnson, John Macmillan, Graham McTavish, Theo Nate, Matthew Needham, Bill Paterson, Phia Saban, Gavin Spokes, Savannah Steyn, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, Rhys Ifans, and Olivia Cooke will be joining the cast.
On August 21, HBO will premiere House of the Dragon. HBO Max will be able to watch it as well. In the meantime, re-watching Game of Thrones, would be a smart idea.
