Overview
House of the Dragon is an American fantasy drama television series created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal for HBO. Serving as a prequel to the series Game of Thrones, it is the second television production within the A Song of Ice and Fire franchise. The narrative explores the history of House Targaryen during a period when the dynasty possesses more than 15 dragons and holds the absolute apex of its power. The plot centers on an internal succession war that begins when King Viserys breaks with tradition by naming his daughter, Rhaenyra, as his heir to the Iron Throne. This decision creates friction across the realm, particularly after the King fathers a son and Rhaenyra retains her status as the heir. The series is set 172 to 200 years before the events depicted in Game of Thrones. The cast includes Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Olivia Cooke, and Fabien Frankel. The show is available for streaming on platforms such as HBO Max.
