Game of Thrones may feel a lifetime ago, but it’s only been a handful of years — the exact time needed to craft a just as epic yet completely detached follow-up series. For the Game of Thrones follow-up series, the way back is the way forward: House of the Dragon is a 10-episode series that follows the Targaryen empire and their internal clashes, fights over birthrights, and, of course, dragons. Ahead of its future showing at San Diego Comic-Con, HBO released a full-length trailer. While the juicy political intrigue abounds, it also offers a sneak peak at one of the most important locales in Westeros history. Here’s what it means for the show’s future.
