House of the Dragon will make its debut in 2022, at the moment there is no precise release date.
George RR Martin saw the first episode of House of the Dragon , the Game of Thrones prequel series that will tell the story of House Targaryen . The response? Definitely favorable. As the author wrote on his blog :
Don’t tell anyone… but I saw a preliminary cut from the first episode.
I loved it. It’s dark, powerful, visceral… just the way I like the fantasy epic.
Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik (the showrunners) did a great job, and then the cast… just like with Game of Thrones, most audiences will only have heard of a few actors. But I really think that many of them will enter your hearts. And they will tear them apart when later with the story … No, so I would tell you too much.
I really think the Targaryens are in very good hands. You will not be disappointed, I anticipate it.
The cast
The series will be based on Fire & Blood , Martin’s book about the rise and fall of the Targaryens. The show will be set 300 years before Game of Thrones .
