House of the Dragon trailer has arrived — out of the blue. On Tuesday, HBO Max unveiled the first teaser trailer for its first Game of Thrones prequel spin-off sequence House of the Dragon, as half of its launch date announcement into Europe. (HBO Max arrives October 26 in Europe.) The first House of the Dragon trailer units up the sequence’ setting — 200 years earlier than the fall of the Iron Throne — when the Targaryens took over Westeros with the assist of dragons. The one-minute House of the Dragon teaser does not inform us a lot, nevertheless it does construct the temper of the sequence.
“Gods. Kings. Fire. And blood,” an unseen speaker says in the House of the Dragon teaser trailer, whereas we’re proven glimpses of the major characters: the Hand of the King pin on Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans), Kign Viserys I (Paddy Considine) holding the sword and sitting on a throne, and his youngsters Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) on a seaside. There’s a quick glimpse of a Targaryen in fight, a tourney, and Otto’s daughter Alicent (Olivia Cooke).
“Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did,” the speaker returns as we see a Targaryen lady whose face we won’t see strode in the direction of a a lot completely different Iron Throne than the one we keep in mind from Game of Thrones. This one is rawer, extra pointy, and there are swords welded into the floor throughout it. This is mighty harmful, I have to say, particularly for any rulers predisposed to a drink. The first House of the Dragon trailer then wraps with a title card and reiterating its 2022 launch window.
Created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal and based mostly on Martin’s Fire & Blood e book, House of the Dragon is about 200 years previous to the occasions of Game of Thrones. While the e book begins with Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, House of the Dragon is beginning off together with his great-great-grandson Viserys I. That means House of the Dragon will lead us very quickly into the famed civil struggle generally known as the Dance of the Dragons.
Condal serves as co-showrunner alongside Game of Thrones veteran Miguel Sapochnik who will direct the House of the Dragon pilot and extra episodes. Greg Yaitanes (House), Clare Kilner (The Alienist), and Geeta V. Patel (Meet the Patels) will even direct episodes. Martin, Condal, and Sapochnik additionally function govt producers on House of the Dragon alongside author Sara Lee Hess (House), Vince Gerardis (Game of Thrones), and Ron Schmidt (Watchmen).
