Dragons, sibling rivalry, sex scenes and a lot of very blonde hair, yes the long-awaited prequel to smash hit fantasy drama Game of Thrones is finally unleashed today.
Sky Atlantic’s House of the Dragon makes its debut three years after the HBO epic came to an end, following eight tumultuous series which made a host of stars, including Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke, household names.
The new show takes place 172 years before Thrones and is based on George R.R. Martin’s novel Fire & Blood, telling the story of House Targaryen.
