HBO releases first trailer for 'Game of Thrones' prequel, 'House of the Dragon'
House of the Dragon
In a big reveal, HBO released first trailer of its ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel ‘House of the Dragon’.
The much-anticipated prequel takes place 200 years before the events we saw in the original series ‘Game of Thrones’ and thus was a time of the dragons. It follows the rise and reign of the Targaryen family as the rulers of Westeros.
The GoT prequelteaser trailer has actor Matt Smith of the fame ‘The Crown’ as Prince Daemon Targaryen as he narrates images of Targaryens in the throne room, jousts, fights and tense moments. We also see a Targaryen king sitting on the Iron Throne, a much larger and more imposing structure in this series, more like it is described in author George R.R. Martin's books. ‘House of Dragon’ is based on George RR Martin's book, ‘Fire and Blood.’
The voiceover is by Prince Daemon as he says: "Dreams didn't make us kings; dragons did."
