House of the Dragon TV Thread

[Tom]

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON IS SLATED FOR 10 EPISODES.

The script, written by Ryan Condal (Colony, Rampage) will cover events in George R. R. Martin's book, Fire & Blood, which details the history of the dragon-wielding family 300 years before the events in Game of Thrones. It's likely the series would revolve around the Dance of Dragons, the legendary Targaryen civil war. Entertainment Weekly first reported that HBO was close to ordering a pilot in early September. A month later, it was revealed that the network put in a full series order.

Condal, who created the series with Martin, will be co-showrunner with "Battle of the Bastards" director Miguel Sapochnik, who is also directing the pilot and other episodes.

In January 2020, HBO programming president Casey Bloys shared that he predicts House of the Dragon will arrive "sometime in 2022." As for the progress of production so far, he said, "They are starting writing," per Deadline.

Paddy Considine will star as King Viserys Targaryen, chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal. A warm, kind and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather's legacy. But good men do not necessarily make for great kings.

So it begins....

I like the GoT lore regarding the Targaryens, so this should hopefully be good. Also it's not as serious as the main series with all the prophetic prince that was promised, white walker end of the world stuff so it won't be as hard to write for them.

I thought I was done with all things GoT after season 8, but this short trailer got me quite excited. Let's face it we are all going to tune in on day 1, but the treshold to keep watching will be raised.

A new teaser trailer has been released.

I'm not overly enthusiastic for this. There was a time when a new Game of Thrones trailer, prequel or not, would have filled me with excitement but I just can't get enthusiastic about this.

That said tough, I will probably end up watching it!

Honestly, much as I enjoyed the early seasons of GOT, I have little interest in this. I'll no doubt watch it, and more than likely enjoy it but really, the travesty of GOT has left deep scars!
