Game of Thrones
.
It follows the Targaryen clan back when they ruled the Iron Throne, AKA many many years before was set.
Alas, there probably won’t be any cameos from Daenerys Targaryen but the show looks bloody excellent regardless. Whip out your best icy blonde wig and read on for all the tea about , including cast, release date and plot. You know, all the good stuff!
As I mentioned before, the new show focuses on House Targaryen and their downfall. If you remember , Daenerys () was the last surviving member of House Targaryen. Or so she thought…
takes us around 200 years before is set. It focuses on the lead up to the Dance of the Dragons: a very fancy name for the war of succession in the family.
Viserys Targaryen () is on the throne and makes a controversial choice while naming an heir. Cue: drama.
The show is also based on book which was published back in 2018, if ya fancy some light reading.
A all the way back in October 2021.
The full trailer dropped in late July this year and hooboy, it looks like a doozy. Dragons? Yes. Swords? Yes. Familial conflict? Yes. All the things I want from a historical fantasy show.
Yes, there are dragons! The Targaryens are renowned for being one of the very few families with the ability to ride dragons. I mean, it wouldn’t be a prequel without dragons.
Members of the House of Targaryen have special bonds with different dragons. Cute! And also God I wish that were me.
According to , the show will feature 17 dragons — the perfect number of scaly friends if you ask me.
Series co-creator-slash-showrunner told the publication that each of the dragons would have its own aesthetic and personality. I simply cannot wait to see a “star signs as each of the dragons” meme. Have it on my desk by 9am.
“We really tried to imbue them with an individual personality that you can start to detect,” he said.
Forget the human drama: I’m all in for the dragons.
As previously mentioned, Paddy Considine is starring as Viserys Targaryen. He has a daughter called Rhaenyra who’s played by non-binary British actor . You might recognise them from TV shows and or the film
Rhaenyra is a dragonrider and therefore already my fave character.
Doctor Who himself is Viserys’s younger brother Daemon. My 2014 Tumblr self is rooting for him. On his side is Mysaria ( ), a dancer who becomes his number one ally.
Then there’s Rhaenys () — who potentially should’ve held the Iron Throne instead of Viserys. She’s married to Lord Corlys Valaryon (), also known as the Sea Snake. Cool nickname.
We also have the Hand of the King Otto Hightower. He’s played by . Yup, Luna Lovegood’s dad and the Lizard from ! I’m already thrilled for this. He has a daughter called Alicent Hightower () who was chlidhood besties with Rhaenyra.
Then we have sexy Dornish swordsman Ser Criston Cole played by .
There’s also a slew of actors playing the characters as their younger selves, including Aussie actress as Rhaenyra and as Alicent.
is an HBO Max show so it’ll be available to and on Foxtel. The first episode drops on Monday August 22 and episodes will be released weekly.
Get your popcorn ready in advance!
