House of the Dragon
Inspired by George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood novel, House of the Dragon follows the rise of House Targaryen. The Game of Thrones spinoff premieres on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022.
House of the Dragon is set 300 years before Game of Thrones begins. The series introduces audiences to King Viserys Targaryen, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Prince Daemon Targaryen, and many famed families of Westeros. Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Paddy Considine, and Olivia Cooke star in the series created by Ryan J. Condal and Martin.
