In it, nosotros get a good expect at the more lethal looking Iron Throne, also as the series' central characters, and what looks to be enough of intense drama. "Gods, kings, fire, and blood.

Who's in the House of the Dragon cast?
Fabien Frankel (who recently appeared in the Netflix and BBC One crime series, The Serpent) will play Ser Criston Cole, common-born, Dornish son to the Steward of the Lord of Blackhaven. Variety describes Cole as having "no merits to land or titles; all he has to his proper name, his honor, and his preternatural skill with a sword".
Graham McTavish, star of Outlander, confirmed to Stylist that he has a role in the series – but didn't requite anything else away: "I'm enjoying that, yes," he said. "I'm really having a lot of fun. We've just started. It's a very big project, so we're getting to know each other. They're lovely people. It'due south keen, just I tin can't tell you also much. I tin't tell yous actually anything about the story! Only it involves a lot dragons." Speculation after McTavish was reportedly glimpsed onset in costume has pointed to Harrold Westerling, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard (H/T Radio Times).
Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Eve Best, and Sonoya Mizuno also recently joined the projection. Toussaint will play Lord Corlys Velaryon, a powerful lord of House Velaryon (a Valyrian bloodline as onetime as House Targaryen) and the most notorious nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros with the world's largest navy.
Ifans volition play Otto Hightower, the loyal Manus of the King, while All-time will be Princess Rhaenys Velaryon, a dragonrider and married woman to Lord Corlys Velaryon. Mizuno, meanwhile, will play Mysaria, a adult female who arrived in Westeros with cipher, simply rose through the ranks to become the most trusted marry of Prince Daemon Targaryen, the heir to the throne.
Then we've got Emma D'Arcy and Matt Smith, who volition play Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Prince Daemon Targaryen respectively, while Olivia Cooke has signed on to play Alicent Hightower. The ii Targaryen royals play key roles in the climactic Trip the light fantastic of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil state of war that takes up a large chunk of George R.R. Martin'southward Burn & Blood, the novel on which House of the Dragon is based.
Expect to encounter these characters play major roles in the events of Firm of the Dragon, and given their lasting presence in the book, it's probable we'll see them across several seasons. Though, as Game of Thrones proved, TV series aren't always 100 per cent faithful to their source work. Interestingly, young versions of 2 of these characters have been cast – Milly Alcock has joined the lineup as a younger version of Rhaenyra Targaryen, while Emily Carey will be the immature Alicent Hightower.
Cooke has spoken a little about the series, saying there volition non be any gratuitous violence against women, which Thrones was accused of on multiple occasions. "I wouldn't feel comfortable in being a part of anything that has simply egregious graphic violence towards women for no reason whatsoever, just because they desire information technology to exist tantalizing in a way that gets viewers," she said. "I was lucky enough to read the [prequel] script before, and it has changed a lot from the first few seasons [of Thrones]. I don't call back they'd be in their right minds to include any of that any more than."
In October, the series' atomic number 82 was announced: Paddy Considine every bit King Viserys I, an ancestor of everyone's favorite Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. Viserys is chosen by the Lords of Westeros to succeed the Iron Throne and apparently wants to innocently bear on his grandfather'due south legacy. Still, as the original serial showed u.s.a., good men don't e'er make good leaders.
Fire & Claret features a lineup of Targaryen rulers from Aegon I to his sons, Aenys I and Maegor I, all the way upwards to Aegon 3. We expect even more silver-haired dragonriders to take the reign as casting details continue opening up in the (presumably) near hereafter.
HBO recently cast its first Lannisters, with returning Game of Thrones actor Jefferson Hall joining House of the Dragon as twins Jason Lannister and Ser Tyland Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock and Paw of the Rex for Aegon III Targaryen, respectively.
The latest round of casting news also reveled that Ryan Corr (Wolf Creek two, The Water Diviner) has been bandage equally Ser Harwin "Breakbones" Potent, who HBO describes as "the strongest man in the 7 Kingdoms." Meanwhile, David Horovitch (Miss Marple) volition play Grand Maester Mellos, one of King Viserys's close advisors.
Graham McTavish (The Hobbit, Netflix'due south Castlevania, Preacher) has been bandage every bit Ser Harrold Westerling, loyal member of the Kingsguard. Neb Paterson (Astonishing Grace, Miss Potter) is playing Lord Lyman Beesbury, Lord of Honeyholt and Main of Coin on King Viserys'due south pocket-sized council. Gavin Spokes (She Stoops to Conquer, Utopia, Warrior Kings) is Lord Lyonel Strong, Lord of Harrenhal and the King's Main of Laws, and Matthew Needham (Stutterer) is set to portray Larys Strong, son of Lyonel Strong.
When is the House of the Dragon set?
The beginning of House of the Dragon will date back to roughly 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones. That might seem similar a while back, but information technology's actually much more than recent history than the canceled Naomi Watts prequel, which was set to take identify "thousands of years" before Game of Thrones and explore the early history of ancient houses as well every bit the origin of the White Walkers.
Considering Westerosi societies were very much thriving, and turbulent every bit always, during the timeline containing Business firm of the Dragon, expect to see political interworkings akin to Game of Thrones explored in the prequel series. Whereas the canceled prequel would've more likely focused primarily on fantasy elements, Business firm of the Dragon is based on a book very much centered effectually bequeathed hierarchies, warring nations, and a massive civil war. That should equate to a prequel serial more tonally similar to Game of Thrones, a show as much nearly dragons as the dark underbellies of order and the ruling class.
For the uninitiated, House Targaryen is very much affiliated with dragons, going all the style dorsum to Aegon the Conqueror's burn down-animate conquest over the seven kingdoms where House of the Dragon picks upwardly.
What's the House of the Dragon story?
House of the Dragon is based on Burn and Blood, a novel by George RR Martin covering the rise and fall of the Targaryen dynasty as recorded by a maester in pre-Game of Thrones time. Since that volume has been out for about ii years, we take a pretty adept idea of what we can expect to see from House of the Dragon'southward plot.
The book picks up with Aegon's Conquest, which marked the very beginning of a new world order, the establishment of King's Landing as the world upper-case letter, and the physical germination of the Fe Throne.
Together with the assistance of his twin sisters, Rhaenys and Visenya (non to mention their three dragons), Aegon Targaryen I successfully subdued six of the 7 kingdoms of Westeros, whether past conquest or their voluntary submission. The simply kingdom to prevail unconquered was Dorne, which Rhaenys left unharmed after finding its castles abandoned and just women and children occupying its seat.
From there follows a turbulent run of Targaryen kings and queens; proficient, evil, and everywhere in between; leading up to the great ceremonious war between Aegon II and his one-half-sis Rhaenyra over their father Viserys I'southward throne. That long struggle endured for two years, through which several large-calibration battles were fought until both Aegon II and Rhaenya died mysterious and grizzly corresponding deaths.
The resulting power void fell to the young Aegon Iii to occupy, which resulted in the death of "the last dragon." The cease of Burn and Claret doesn't pb directly into the events of Game of Thrones, endmost out roughly 150 years before the fateful day Robert Baratheon shows upward at King's Landing to enlist Ned Stark as Mitt of the King. The gap between the end of Burn down and Blood and the beginning of Game of Thrones hasn't been written about in depth, simply Martin has said he plans on writing Fire and Blood part 2 when he's finished the A Vocal of Ice and Fire series.
Game of Thrones followed the books closely and with little deviation for the commencement 4 seasons, after which substantial changes to the characters and plot were made at to the lowest degree partly due to the source work not existence finished at the time. For those reasons, information technology's hard to tell how faithfully Firm of the Dragon will tell the stories from Fire and Blood. With Martin at the helm and Fire and Blood published in its entirety, information technology's a good bet the evidence and book volition marshal quite nicely.
While non giving anything away about the plot, HBO content chief Casey Bloys has said the serial "looks spectacular," adding: "The cast that Miguel [Sapochnik] and Ryan [Condal] accept put together looks good."
If you're wondering about the dragons, have no fright: there'll be a lot of them in the series. "I've ever thought this was a cool story, information technology's one I like, so I'm looking forward to seeing information technology come alive on screen," Martin told The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of podcast. "And of course I'k looking forward to the dragons. Obviously, I honey the dragons. Nosotros had three of them in Game of Thrones, but now nosotros got like 17 of them. And hopefully, they'll each have their own personalities, they'll exist instantly recognizable when you see them, the colors and all of that because the dragons do have personalities in the books, and it'll be great to run into that come live. And the dragon riders. That'southward all pretty cool."
We spoke to co-showrunner Miguel Sapochnik about his sci-fi movie Finch, and the director compared that film to the prequel serial: "[They're] very, very, very dissimilar. Equally I said, Finch is two actors and a dog. House of the Dragon is lots of dragons and lots of actors. [Laughs] They're very dissimilar experiences. But the practice is the aforementioned if you're a manager, which is I always ask myself in whatsoever projection that I'm involved in, whose story is it? Whose point of view is it? What am I trying to say, and is that getting in the fashion of telling the story? And then I approach things from the same perspective. I think that making Finch was a welcome respite from making Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. But it doesn't hateful that I wasn't on set now and so, with an RV and a dog and a couple of actors, and I didn't wish that I had a dragon there likewise."
Sapochnik too talked to The Hollywood Reporter about how the tone of House of the Dragon will differ from Game of Thrones. "I think we were very respectful of what the original show is," he commented. "Information technology wasn't broken, so we're not trying to reinvent the bicycle. Firm of the Dragon has its own tone that volition evolve and emerge over the course of the testify. But first, it's very of import to pay respects and homage to the original serial, which was pretty groundbreaking. We're standing on the shoulders of that show and we're only here because of that show. So the most important thing for us to do is to respect that prove as much as possible and effort and complement information technology rather than reinvent information technology."
He added: "This is something else, and should be something else. It'southward a different crew, dissimilar people, dissimilar tone. Hopefully, information technology will be seen every bit something else."

House of the Dragon concept art
Here's some concept art HBO revealed for Firm of the Dragon. It isn't much, but it does requite us our first look at what the dragons might await like. Mayhap unsurprisingly, they expect pretty like to the winged beasts we saw in Game of Thrones. The last i in particular looks a lot similar Drogon with the redish hue to its scales. And we've seen information technology before, but that last shot is probably the official House of the Dragon title screen/logo.
Who is the Game of Thrones prequel Tv set show showrunner?
George RR Martin will be heading upwardly the Game of Thrones prequel as showrunner, along with Ryan Condal and Game of Thrones alumn Miguel Sapochnik. Sapochnik directed some of Game of Thrones' nearly pivotal episodes, including "Hardhome" and "Battle of the Bastards," while Condal is an established screenwriter and producer well familiar with Martin's piece of work.
What's happened to the other Game of Thrones prequel TV shows?
The Game of Thrones prequel starring Naomi Watts was canceled belatedly last twelvemonth, despite filming its pilot episode. And before that, HBO commissioned five writers to have a crack at their ain Game of Thrones prequel, with some of the finest talent around prepare to present their vision of Westeros. Inevitably, but one was chosen.
So, what about the other three? Martin was kind enough to update united states of america all with a blog post almost the Game of Thrones prequels before the most recent cancellation. In it, he says that, of the five prequels, one has been shelved, with iii more in "active development." Now that the one starring Watts has been cancelled, that leaves united states of america with another two Game of Thrones prequels alongside House of the Dragon potentially even so in early on evolution – and now we know that there are another four series in the works.
The author has expressed his involvement to create another Game of Thrones prove called Spear Carriers, inspired by the Tom Stoppard play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. "[It] would actually exist set during the events of Game of Thrones", explained Martin in an interview with The New York Times, "but information technology wouldn't exist post-obit Dany, Tyrion, and Jaime."
"They would all be there in the background similar Hamlet, and it would be more like, 'Here's a story about a guy in the City Watch; here's a story about a prostitute at one of Littlefinger's brothels; here'southward a story about a mummer who'due south in town to practise juggling and tricks.' And they all go caught up in the events. I think that kind of show would be a lot of fun to exercise. Maybe I'll be able to convince them to practise information technology!" It sounds amazing, George, but best of luck getting HBO to greenlight that ane!
More than Game of Thrones prequels on the manner
Yes, despite one canceled airplane pilot and The Business firm of the Dragon being in development, there'south even more than coming. A serial based on Martin's Dunk and Egg books is existence worked on, with HBO looking to expand the serial similar to how Disney has expanded Star Wars on Disney Plus.
At that place volition likewise be a stage bear witness, every bit well as three other spinoffs: one focusing on Princess Nymeria named 100,000 ships, another centered on Flea Bottom, and another on Lord Corlys Velaryon. Get gear up to spend a lot more time in Westeros.
