Audiences will finally be treated to more GameofThrones content with HouseoftheDragon, and these are things worth knowing going into the premiere.
It’s been a long time since audiences felt the excitement of Sunday nights being Game of Thrones night, eagerly anticipating what dramatic revelations would unfold, and this week’s premiere of House of the Dragon will finally break that 3-year streak of silence. This prequel series is the first endeavor in a massive 5-year contract by A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R.
And though Martin himself confirmed on his blog that there will be a second volume of Fire & Blood, the history that HBO and showrunners Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik’s House of the Dragon will be covering should all be documented. House of the Dragon will take place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and will cover what’s regarded as the beginning of the end of House Targaryen’s seemingly indomitable influence over Westeros. It is technically a mild spoiler for the show, but Thrones made it abundantly clear that the family — and their dragons — were severely endangered by their own infighting.
The Houses in conflict The central conflict that the show will build up to is ultimately civil war, meaning that House of the Dragon will be pitting certain Targaryens against each other. However, underneath the Targaryens that sit on top of the political food chain, other houses will be thrown into the mix as well.
