Excitement around the new House of the Dragon prequel series to Game of Thrones is mounting. With a star-studded cast featuring the likes of Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen), Emma D'Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Lady Alicent Hightower), Rhys Ifans (Ser Otto Hightower) and Paddy Considine (King Viserys I Targaryen), this is understandable.
The new House of the Dragon series is set around 200 years before the Game of Thrones timeline. It focuses on the events of a civil war which breaks out in the Targaryen household that eventually leaves it diminished.
The final season of Game of Thrones drew mixed reactions. Now, all eyes have turned to the Targaryens in the hope this will reignite viewers’ imaginations.
