Anticipation for the first “Game of Thrones” spinoff series has been hotter than a dragon’s breath.
The opening episode of “House of the Dragon,” premiering Aug. 21 on HBO, has everything “Thrones” fans would expect from a sister show — love, betrayal, brutality, battles, sex, shock and, of course, dragons.
But amid the madness, a rare noble character, Ser Harrold Westerling, strives to uphold integrity in the fictional continent of Westeros.
