Set 200 years before the events of the main series and based
on the novels of George RR Martin, House of the Dragon sees several influential
families fighting each other for the Iron Throne.
On Thursday, HBO unveiled the first teaser trailer for the Game of Thrones spin-off, ‘House of the Dragon’ which takes place two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones.
King Viserys Targaryen – the fifth ruler of the Seven
Kingdoms – would begin with the House of the Dragon and lead directly to the
Great Targaryen Civil War known as the Dance of the Dragons.
There are hints of this conflict in the first House of the
Dragon trailer, with Matt Smith’s Prince Damon protesting the idea of Princess
Renera being named as Viserys’ successor, also some dragons and dragon eggs.
Together, we’ve got a bunch of House of the Dragon character
posters as well.
“What is this brief mortal life, if not the pursuit of
legacy?” Lord Corlys “Sea Snake” Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) says at the start
of the House of the Dragon trailer.
But it seems Prince Daemon (Smith) takes issue with that, as
a woman says: “Men would sooner put the realm to the torch, than see a woman
ascend the Iron Throne.”

The second half of the House of the Dragon trailer opens
with Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) — the Hand of the King — who admits they play
an “ugly game” and tells his daughter Lady Alicent (Olivia Cooke) that she has
the “determination to win it.” Stern glances are exchanged, people are beaten
up and blood flows, and ultimately, swords and daggers are drawn. Words from
Velaryon close out the House of the Dragon trailer, as he remarks: “History
does not remember blood. It remembers names.”
In addition to Toussaint, Considine, D'Arcy, Smith, Ifans
and Cooke, House of the Dragon also stars Eve Best as Corlys' wife Princess
Rhaenys Targaryen, Milly Alcock and Emily Carey as young Rhaenyra and Alicent,
Fabien Frankel as skilled swordsman Ser Criston Cole, and Sonoya Mizuno as
dancer and Daemon's most trusted ally Mysaria. Ryan J. Condal and Game of
Thrones author George R.R. Martin are the creators of this Thrones spin-off,
with Condal serving as co-showrunner with director Miguel Sapochnik.
House of the Dragon begins August 21 on HBO and HBO Max
wherever available, and August 22 on Disney+ Hotstar. All eight Game of Thrones
seasons are currently available on Disney+ Hotstar.
