Season 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 is set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and focuses on the Targaryen dynasty. At the beginning of the series, the dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, maintaining control over more than 15 dragons. The central conflict of the first season begins when King Viserys I Targaryen breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter, Princess Rhaenyra, as his heir to the Iron Throne. This decision defies established customs and ignites significant tensions within the realm. As the Targaryens occupy a position of immense influence, the series explores the slow fall of the empire. The show is categorized under the genres of science fiction and fantasy, drama, and action and adventure. It premiered in 2022 and holds a TV-MA rating.
