How to watch House of the Dragon: stream the Game of Thrones prequel
Knowing how to watch House of the Dragon is the hottest question in entertainment this week, as the show's premiere finally nears.
Because the series is based on more of George R.R. Martin's works, Fire & Blood specifically, there's going to be action, family feuds, and characters changing roles like they're on a merry-go-round.

The Fire and Blood novel covered the rise and fall of the Targaryen dynasty as recorded in Westeros well before the time of Game of Thrones. Given we know much about the book - it starts with Aegon's Conquest, includes the establishment of King's Landing as the capital city, and even the beginnings and formation of the famous Iron Throne - we already know there's plenty to look forward to.
