House of The Dragon Trailer: Shows us The Beginning of Targaryen Civil War
HBO has released the first trailer for House of the Dragon, the prequel series Game of Thrones about the Targaryen dynasty.
The first trailer of House of the Dragon has finally been released. The much-anticipated prequel series from HBO to Game of Thrones is set to hit screens this summer. Based on George RR Martin's. book, Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the main series and follows the Targaryen dynasty as they ruled the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The series will follow the fall of the Targaryen dynasty, including the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons and their eventual fall from power.
Paddy Considine is set to play King Viserys I Targaryen, the fifth King of the Seven Kingdoms. Matt Smith will play his brother, Prince Deamon Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne. The cast was rounded out by Targaryen's main players and their inner circle, including Emma Darcy as Princess Rhinera Targaryen, Rhys Evans as Otto Hightower (The King's Hand), Olivia Cooke as Millicent Hightower (The King's Daughter's Hand), and Sonoya Mizuno in Mysaria (Prince Daemon's most trusted advisor. Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, and Fabien Frankel are also co-stars.
Now, after months of anticipation, HBO has released the first trailer for House of the Dragon. The clip shows the beginnings of the Targaryen Civil War, including infighting within the family and various players vying for power and control of the Iron Throne. Check it out below:

One of the biggest concerns heading into House of the Dragon isn't just how it makes up for Game of Thrones' divisive ending, but how it will differentiate itself from that series. While many of the locations in the House of the Dragon trailer will be familiar to Game of Thrones watchers, including the throne room, the King's Landing, and the Targaryen Dragonstone ancestral home, the period in which the show takes place allows for a few variations that are sure to please a song from Ice and fire fanatics. Perhaps the exact book on the Iron Throne is even more exciting, as the words around it are closer to Martin's original vision of a seat of power.
The most important thing is the dragons. While Game of Thrones was short on mythical creatures during the series' early years, dragons were eventually introduced when Daenerys raised three. The House of the Dragon will have a lot of dragon action, though, thanks in part to the fact that infighting between Targaryens allows for dragon war on the dragon. Unfortunately, the House of the Dragon trailer is light on that. HBO will probably provide the more difficult-to-move elements of another trailer or the show itself. One of the things the trailer shows is something every Game of Thrones fan will love - palace intrigues, ever-changing political allegiances, and a return to Westeros. House of the Dragon will premiere on August 21.
