The material narrated by Matt Smith, who will play Prince Daemon Targaryen in this production, mainly shows snapshots of members of the family who once sat on the Iron Throne. Throughout the trailer, the actor conducts a monologue about the source of the Targaryen power. This is what dragons are, of course, and the skull of one of them is even visible in a short shot.
The action of the Dragon House will take place nearly two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones . At the time, House Targaryen was at the absolute pinnacle of power. It was possible thanks to the aforementioned dragons, which were then controlled by more than 15. Everything started to get complicated when the then king – Viserys Targaryen – announced that his daughter, Rhaenyra, would sit on the throne. In doing so, he broke a century-long tradition of men as rulers of Westeros. The ruler does not change his decision even after the birth of a son. Ultimately, this leads to conflicts throughout the kingdom. The plot will be based on the book by George RR Martin – Fire and Blood .
In addition to the aforementioned Matt Smith, the series also features Paddy Considine, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno and Fabien Frankel. Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal will act as showrunners together. They will also be among the executive producers along with Martin and Vince Gerardis. George RR Martin also takes part in the series.
HBO plans to launch the Dragon House in 2022.
