Upcoming HBO series ‘House of the Dragon’ is the first spinoff of the network’s wildly successful fantasy show ‘Game of Thrones’ to see the light of the day. Many others are in varying stages of development, and the matter of whether they will be greenlit may depend on the success of ‘HotD’. Created by George RR Martin (the creator of this entire world) and Ryan J. Condal, the series is set two hundred years before the events of ‘Game of Thrones’ in the past of Westeros wherein the Targaryens ruled. Unlike ‘GoT’, ‘HotD’ is not based on a struggle for Iron Throne, but a struggle for the Iron Throne among Targaryens themselves.

What ‘House of the Dragon’ story is all about?

So it is a story of intra-family conflict. Emma D'Arcy plays the role of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, who wishes to rule the Seven Kingdoms, at least as Queen Regent. The reigning king is Paddy Considine’s Viserys I Targaryen, who tries hard to please everybody. Matt Smith is Prince Daemon Targaryen, Viserys’ younger brother. Also in the mix is Alicent Hightower, Olivia Cooke’s character who is Rhaenyar’s friend, but marries the king, complicating things.

What are the chances of ‘House of the Dragon’ being a success?

The series has all the ingredients for a successful series: HBO’s budget and production quality, strong creative team and cast. But the shadow that was ‘Game of Thrones’ eighth and final season is looming over it. ‘GoT’ was the biggest show in the world, until it disappeared almost completely from the public imagination soon after a truncated and frankly terrible final season.

George RR Martin takes on “toxic” ‘Game of Thrones’ fans

Martin had a few blunt words about the “toxic” fans of the original series. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said, “The f—-g toxic internet and these podcasts out there saying that season eight left such a bad impression that people say, ‘Oh, I’m never going to watch them again’. I don’t trust them anymore.”

Nearly everything sufficiently popular in pop culture has a section of its fandom whose entitled fans believe the stories should be written and actors should be act in the way they want, and ‘Game of Thrones’ is no exception.

Will ‘House of the Dragon’ find success like its parent series? Only time will tell. ‘House of the Dragon’ premieres in less than a month on August 21.

George RR Martin on ‘toxic’ ‘Game of Thrones’ final season backlash: ‘I don’t trust them anymore’

The trailer for HBO’s most awaited series, 'House of the Dragon’ is here and fans are already super excited to see what it has to offer. The series is a spinoff of the hit period war drama ‘Game of Thrones,'&nbsp;which first premiered in 2011. The prequel show is set two centuries before the War of the Five Kings and is based on the original writer George R.R.&nbsp;Martin's book 'Fire &amp; Blood' which will tell the backstory of House Targaryen, which is reduced to just two members by the time 'Game of Thrones' begins—Viserys (Harry Lloyd) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke).&nbsp;

As the struggle for the iron thrones begins, the spinoff of 'GoT'&nbsp;may not be the last one on HBO. Up to this date, we have only had the adaptation of the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ from the book. But there are several sources of material by George R.R. Martin that can be developed into a television series.&nbsp;

The show’s co-creator, Miguel Sapochnik, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, explains how ‘House of the Dragon’ might serve as the foundation for more future stories. Sapochnik said, "The Targaryens span both directions. So as a spine to other possible stories and spinoffs... this is a great place to start."&nbsp;

And this could be right, given the numerous characters introduced in the show, like that of The Targaryens, who may have plenty of opportunities for exploration, from Aegon's conquest to the Doom of Valyria.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

As reported by Movieweb.com, HBO Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys said, "I also liked the idea of focusing on one family, and obviously the Targaryens have a lot of drama to go around. I also liked how empires can quickly fall - those are the types of conversations we are having in our own country, which I don't think is anything I would've thought we'd be talking about 20 years ago."

Meanwhile, ‘House of the Dragon’ is not the first spinoff of ‘Game of Thrones’ that was planned, but it is the first to be delivered to the audience. 'Bloodmoon' was the first spinoff from the ‘Game of Thrones’ series that was initially decided, and it would centre on The Long Knight. However, after a $30 million pilot episode, the Naomi Watts-starring television series was ultimately cancelled.

Last March, news about three ‘GoT’ spinoffs were reported to be in production, the first of which was ‘The Sea Snake’, which would focus on Corlys Velaryon, aka The Sea Snake. Steve Toussaint will be seen playing the character in the ‘House of the Dragon.’&nbsp;

HBO is also developing ‘Ten Thousand Ships’, which will follow the story of Princess Nymeria, a member of House Martell who built Dorne. The series is being written by Amanda Segel, who has given a few draughts to George R.R. Martin. Additionally, there are rumours surrounding a series called 'Flea Bottom’, to be based on the King's Landing Slums, a place where the poorest citizens of Westeros' capital city reside, which is also reported to be in development at HBO.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, actress Emilia Clarke last month confirmed that a spinoff series starring Kit Harrington's character Jon Snow was in the works. Therefore, don't be surprised if more spinoffs of Game of Thrones' expansion are announced in the future.
