Ahead of the House of theDragon premiere, Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin gives a nod of approval for the series, applauding the complex characters and action-packed drama that he has previewed. Following House Targaryen centuries before Daenerys Targaryen becomes the Mother of Dragons, the HBO prequel series will focus on the internal strife that afflicted the family in the fight for the Iron Throne. House of the Dragon will bring Martin's Dance of the Dragon book to life with an all-star cast including Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Milly Alcock, Paddy Constantine, and Sonoya Mizuno.
HBO announced the project shortly after the conclusion of Game of Thrones, shifting focus from one fantasy kingdom to another. Picking up just as civil war breaks out within the Targaryen faction, the episodic promises the same dramatic flair and political scandal as its sister series. House of the Dragon will unfold over ten episodes like the original series, with Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan Condal taking the lead as co-showrunners. Martin continues to show his support as an executive producer for the series.
