The first season of House of the Dragon cost more than the last of Game of Thrones . Variety confirmed this , adding that HBO has invested $ 20 million for each episode of the series focusing on the history of House Targaryen . For the last few episodes of Game of Thrones , a budget of 15 million per episode was invested.
The reason for this discrepancy is due to the presence of dragons in the series, which required more post production work.
We remind you that House of the Dragon will arrive in Italy on Sky and streaming on NOW on 22 August, absolutely simultaneously with the broadcast of the American cable TV.
Based on the novel “Fire and Blood” by George RR Martin , the series is set 200 years before the events mentioned in Game of Thrones and tells the story of House Targaryen.
