announced that they have set August 21st as the starting date for their Game of Thrones prequel HOUSE OF THE DRAGON which is just ten days ahead of Amazon's launch of their Rings of Power epic series. Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen. Paddy Considine leads the cast as King Viserys Targaryen Viserys, who was 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 as we’ve learned from Game of Thrones, good men do not necessarily make for great kings.

Viserys and heir to the throne. A peerless warrior and a dragonrider, Daemon possesses the true blood of the dragon. But it is said that whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air… Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) is the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the

most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen. Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) is the king’s first-born child. She is of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a

dragonrider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything… but she was not born a man. Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Sea Snake” (Steve Toussaint) is the lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen. As “The Sea Snake,” the most famed nautical adventurer in

the history of Westeros, Lord Corlys built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world. Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (Eve Best) is a dragonrider and wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, "The Queen Who Never Was" was passed over as heir to the

throne at the Great Council because the realm favored her cousin, Viserys, simply for being male. Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), of Dornish descent, is the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven. He has no claim to land or titles; all he has to his name is his honor and his

preternatural skill with a sword. Mysaria (Sonoya Mizuno) came to Westeros with nothing, sold more times than she can recall, and she could have wilted... but instead she rose to become the most trusted - and most unlikely - ally of Prince Daemon Targaryen, the heir to the throne. Otto

Hightower (Rhys Ifans) is the Hand of the King, who loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm. As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king's brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.

  3. I told you, HBO would have some major epic by the end of summer. All and all, and being a thronie, I think I'll pass. Fantasy is no longer my cup of tea (unless it's historical)

    1. I just think it looks hilariously cheap and the casting is just terrible, Cooke does not look like a princess, Matt is not handsome or charismatic for that role, Ifans is a comedian, and the rest of them are as charismatic as a plate of potato mash. I will give it a go, but I expect I won't last more than an episode or two especially as I hated GOT from the bottom of my period set drama soul.

    1. Gilmores should stay away forever after that atrocious sequel season. And Friends too, as we don't want them to be ruined with wokeness.

  5. I read the GOT books and bejezus they were boring as hell. Idk how it became so popular. I never did watch the series on HBO and think I'll pass on this one too.

    1. I will probably watch an episode or two and expect to be scandalised by the lack of quality and story.
