It took place during the last virtual MoffettNathanson Media and Communications Summit , where Jason Kilar talked to the audience about HBO Max, among others. WarnerMedia is a media corporation that brings together the press and TV stations, including HBO, so it should not come as a surprise. Consequently, the CEO commented on the upcoming production from HBO:
I am simply very excited about the realities of the Westeros world, its new landscapes and characters. The Targaryens are as crazy as possible. This is literally the essence of a good drama.
Earlier, Casey Bloys – the program director of HBO also talked about the upcoming production, assuring Game of Thrones fans that the world created by George RR Martin will not disappear from the screens in the near future. He also mentioned the role of HBO Max in production. Overseas, all Warner Bros. productions are available on this platform. from 2021, which is why some viewers wondered whether a series such as House of the Dragon could move from the traditional web to streaming platforms. But this is not yet anticipated by Bloys:
As I said before, we talked about the Euphoria we released on HBO Max earlier, the weekend before its regular launch. Who knows? I mean, 2022 feels so distant, so far. Therefore we will see. We’ll see how it goes.
For now, such news does not apply to Polish viewers, but the arrival of the HBO Max platform on the Polish market seems only a matter of time, so this information may also be interesting for them.
It has long been known that HBO will not quickly give up expanding the A Song of Ice and Fire universe with new series productions. History, which will present the House of the Dragon, will be based on the novel Fire and Blood Martin, the prequel to A Song of Ice and Fire. The novel focuses on the story of the Targaryen family after their arrival in Westeros and the events that led to their downfall.
Game of Thrones turned out to be a huge success that left a lasting mark on the series in general, but many fans still feel disappointed after the production finale. It will be hard to wash away this bad impression. But HBO believes viewers still want to immerse themselves in the realities of Westeros, which is why the 10-episode House of the Dragon will premiere next year.
