House of the Dragon is an upcoming American medieval fantasy television series. It is a prequel to Game of Thrones.

Plot

House of the Dragon takes place two centuries before the War of the Five Kings, focusing on the Dance of the Dragons. The show is based on George R. R. Martin's Fire & Blood, along with the novella The Princess and the Queen and the novelette The Rogue Prince.[2]

Production

Conception and development

House of the Dragon was first pitched by George R. R. Martin in the summer of 2016, when he was still writing Fire & Blood.[2] A similar project dealing with the Dance of the Dragons was pitched by Bryan Cogman in September 2017,[3] but it was announced in April 2019 that HBO would not move forward with it.[4] House of the Dragon was greenlit in October 2019 and has received a 10-episode straight-to-series order by HBO, who have hired Miguel Sapochnik to direct the pilot episode and additional episodes. In addition to Sapochnik, Ryan Condal will serve as co-showrunner. George R. R. Martin, Vince Gerardis, and Casey Bloys have been attached as executive producers, and Wes Tooke, Claire Kiechel, Ti Mikkel, Sara Hess, and Charmaine DeGraté as writers. Although Martin has expressed interest in writing an episode, he wishes to first finish The Winds of Winter.[2] Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi is returning to compose the music of House of the Dragon.[1] On 11 July 2021, the Academy and Emmy award-winning visual effects company Pixomondo announced that they were working on the show.[5] Pixomondo has previously worked on Game of Thrones.

Casting

Filming locations

The first season of House of the Dragon is being filmed in the United Kingdom and Spain.[6] Filming began on April 5th 2021 in London, at Leavesden Studios,[22] as well as the island castle of St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall.[25]

Broadcast

House of the Dragon is, according to HBO programming chief Casey Bloys, expected to premiere in 2022.[26]
