The Game Of Thrones spinoff, House of the dragon was announced on October 30, 2019, by the president of HBO programming. The Prequel is based on the book Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin which covers a few hundred years of Targaryen history.
What is the Prequel is about?
After canceling the untitled GOT prequel starring Naomi Watts, HBO president announced another prequel of GOT about the house Targaryen. It was officially confirmed that George R.R. Martin will be co-create with the director of the famous GOT episodes namely battle of bastards and the Emmy winner who will also be writing the series, which was a huge relief for the GOT fans who were disappointed after the ending of GOT and canceling of the prequel.
The series is confirmed that it has 10 episodes and takes place 300 years before the events of Game Of Thrones it chronicles the rule of Targaryens from the beginning. The author has dropped some hints on his blog that House of the Dragons will cover another seismic event: the Dance of the Dragons which is the civil war of Targaryen which encounters Aegon I Targaryen's conquest of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The dance of dragons was teased in GOT S05E09.
The scene was emotionally overwhelming for every GOT fans and tragic that we never remembered Shireen saying anything about the Dance of Dragons. She actually noted that Targaryens never truly recovered.
It is for sure that it has more dragons, fire, blood, and more importantly may include the creation of iron throne from dragon fire and more dragon vs dragon fight scenes, who know there might be even more...
