Taking place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones,House of the Dragon is expected to build toward the massive Targaryen civil war known as the Dance (or Dying) of the Dragons.

This time, much of the action will be centered on the Targaryens, who will certainly prove themselves to be less likable than the kind-hearted Starks. On top when House of the Dragon opens is King Viserys (Paddy Considine), the namesake of Daenerys’ brother. Viserys defends his daughter Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) claim to the throne despite her gender. The Hand of the King, Otto Hightower, is portrayed by Rhys Ifans. Smith plays the king’s younger brother Daemon Targaryen, an esteemed warrior with an unstable nature.
