Three years on from theGame of Thronesfinale and HBO Max has returned to the land of Westeros once more for its new prequel series, House of the Dragon.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood”, House of the Dragon takes place approximately 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones during a turbulent time for the House Targaryen. It picks up with king Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) in the lead-up to naming his successor, better known as the “Dance of the Dragons”.
Set to run for 10 weeks, the first episode (The Heirs of the Dragon) premiered on August 21st, 2022. Similar toStranger ThingsandAmazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, House of the Dragon commands a large budget with each episode reported to cost around $20 million (viaVariety). Naturally, with lots more dragons to CGI, it makes some sense.
