The first spin-off of Game of Thrones is one step closer to reality. Itâs been a while since House of the Dragon was first announced , but now, yes, production has begun on the new series set in the universe created by George RR Martin . This was announced this Monday by HBO, taking the opportunity to share a first image: the photograph of a face- to- face reading of the script that brings together the main protagonists â always respecting social distance.
With the start of production on House of the Dragon , the promise HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys made to us last February has been kept. âTheyâre getting ready,â he said of series showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J. Condal , confirming that work on the set will begin in the spring. âThey have been writing for a long time and have the drafts for the 10 episodes of the first season in various stages.â
You can see the images of the reading below:
The whole team.
Matt Smith  is Prince Daemon Targaryen.
Paddy Considine  is King Viserys Targaryen.
Emma DâArcy  is Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Steve Toussaint  is the sea snake.
Set 300 years before the events narrated by Game of Thrones , we canât count on seeing Daenerys ( Emilia Clarke ), Sansa ( Sophie Turner ) or Jon Snow ( Kit Harington ) in House of the Dragon , but we can count on meeting some ancestors of the Khaleesi. Indeed, the new series is based on George RR Martinâs book âBlood and Fireâ and, as such, exudes the essence of Targaryen from all four sides. Apparently, the fiction will address the beginning of House Targaryenâs fall, when a Civil War known as Dance with Dragons occurred among some of its most prominent members.
We will have to prepare to see so many dragons and get to know this famous House of Westeros, very little explored , except for the legends mentioned, in Game of Thrones .
