Here’s everything we know about the upcoming series, from the release schedule to the cast and plot.
What is the ‘House of the Dragon’?
The “House of the Dragon” is the upcoming television series based on George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series. The show will be set 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and will tell the story of House Targaryen.
The release schedule for “House of the Dragon” has not been announced yet, but it is expected to premiere in 2022.
Who is involved in the project?
When it comes to the long-awaited Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, there are a few key players involved in bringing the project to life.
First and foremost is Miguel Sapochnik, who will serve as co-showrunner alongside Ryan Condal. Sapochnik is no stranger to Game of Thrones fans, having directed some of the show’s most iconic episodes, including “Battle of the Bastards” and “The Winds of Winter.” He’ll be helming the pilot episode of House of the Dragon, as well as several more throughout the season.
Condal, on the other hand, is best known for his work on Colony and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. He’ll be responsible for writing many of the episodes in House of the Dragon’s first season.
Rounding out the team is Viperhouse Entertainment’s Greg Yaitanes, who has been tapped to direct multiple episodes in Season 1. Yaitanes’ previous credits include Lost, Bates Motel and House.
What is the release schedule for the ‘House of the Dragon’?
As of right now, the release schedule for House of the Dragon is shrouded in a bit of mystery. The show was first announced back in October of 2019, with filming set to begin in early 2020. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, production was delayed indefinitely.
Since then, there have been several reports that suggest filming could resume as early as late 2020 or early 2021. However, no official announcement has been made and it is still unclear when exactly production will resume.
What we do know is that the show is set to premiere on HBO sometime in 2022. Given the current state of things, it is likely that the release date will be pushed back at least a little bit. But for now, fans can hope to see House of the Dragon sometime next year.
How many episodes will there be?
The release schedule for “House of the Dragon” has yet to be announced, but it is rumored that the show will have a 10-episode first season.
What will the show be about?
The upcoming HBO show “House of the Dragon” is set to be a prequel to the popular “Game of Thrones” series. The show will focus on the story of House Targaryen and will take place 300 years before the events of “Game of Thrones”. The show is expected to be filled with dragons, politics, and betrayal.
