House of the Dragon is the much anticipated prequel to Game of Thrones premiering on Sky Atlantic and NOW in 2022.
Matt Smith stars as Prince Daemon Targaryen, Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King.
The series is set 200-300 years before Game of Thrones and tells the history of the Lannisters, Targaryens and Baratheons as the history of Westeros is explored. The Targaryen Civil War is the main focal point.
In Season One Thom Ashley played Brett Lannister and Arty Froushan played Qarl Correy, a skilled young knight from the House Velaryon.
In Season Two Kieran Bew has a major role starring as Hugh Hammer, the ferociously strong bastard son of a blacksmith from Dragonstone.
The show won Best TV Drama Series in 2023 at the Golden Globes.
