House of the Dragon, what is it about?
For simplicity, this is a Game of Thrones prequel that follows the origins of House Targaryenfrom its peak to its fall — from the novel “Fire & Blood” by George RR Martin. The action takes place 170 years before the time of Game of Thrones and tells the events which caused a civil war called The Dance of the Dragons – civil war which leads to the fall of the dragons but also of the House Targaryen.
In the cast we find in particular Matt Smith, English actor notably known for his role of the Doctor in the fantastic series Doctor Who (and we will pass over his participation in the detestable Morbius), or Olivia Cooke who played the role of Art3mis in the very successful Ready Player One by Steven Spielberg. House of the Dragon will premiere August 21, 20221 on HBO.
