House of the Dragon is the prequel to the biggest TV show of all time- Game of Thrones. The tumultuous success HBO experienced with Game of Thrones made it clear that they wished to expand on this success while the iron was still hot. After the abomination finale of Game of Thrones, HBO distracted fans by announcing nearly 10-15 prequels/spin-offs of Game of Thrones. Out of 15 GOT projects, seven of them stuck around. One of them being House of the Dragon. This is the first GOT prequel to come out, while others are still in development. The show is created by Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik and is supposed to have 10 episodes in its 1st Season. The show’s creators have previously mentioned that they’re planning to make at least five seasons of the show.
The show is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood and it is set 200 years before the events of GOT. The show will tell the rise and decline of the most powerful house in Westeros- House Targaryen. The fantasy drama will offer viewers the dramatic, historic & bloody story of the Seven Kingdoms being formed. With the highly-anticipated series set to make a big splash at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, Martin, Condal & Sapochnik are taking viewers behind the scenes and into the show’s world in the following featurette.

Just days away from the San Diego Comic Con where HBO has booked a full panel with George R.R. Martin making an appearance along with the showrunners and the entire cast of the show, it is clear that HBO wants to make this their next big Fantasy series, especially now that Amazon Prime Video is coming out with its Lord of the Rings series- Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power show. Considering the massive hype around the show, because its outstanding new trailer being released just last month, we were expecting some more footage from the show to drop at SDCC.
Although, even before SDCC we’ve gotten our first look at House of the Dragon’s BTS Featurette called ” New Reign” . Check out the entire video below.
