Game Of Thrones Star Reacts To House Of The Dragon Trailer
Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau reacts to the trailer for the show's upcoming prequel spin-off House of the Dragon. The Danish actor starred as Ser Jaime Lannister, AKA the Kingslayer, for eight seasons in HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Coster-Waldau's portrayal of the morally conflicted Knight received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike, earning him two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. Following the monumental success of Game of Thrones, the network has committed to expanding Westeros with numerous spin-offs beginning with House of the Dragon.
Based on Martin’s novel Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of the flagship series and focuses on a civil war known as the Dance of Dragons, sparked by King Viserys Targaryen breaking from tradition and naming his daughter heir to the Iron Throne. It stars Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Paddy Considine, Emma D'Arcy, Rhys Ifans, Graham McTavish, Steve Toussaint, Sonoya Mizuno, Ryan Corr, Jefferson Hall, Bill Paterson, and Eve Best. Filming for the 10-episode first season began in April 2021 in the United Kingdom, with some elements shot in Spain, California, and Portugal, and wrapped in February 2022. House of the Dragon’s first official trailer dropped earlier this month, showing off its King’s Landing, political intrigue, and, of course, dragons—all of which are familiar to Game of Thrones vets.
