After the success of Game of Thrones, which made a billion dollars, HBO is stepping back 300 years for a prequel series in the same fantasy universe called House of the Dragon. The series' first trailer is out today. Based on George R.R. Martin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon follows the ancient Targaryen ruling family, who are known for their ruthlessness and penchant for incest. (As an aside, Martin learned nothing from the Hapsburgs, or we'd never get characters as gorgeous as Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow.) The series will star Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, and Matt Smith, plus we assume a few dozen other actors in important roles if the show is good enough for more than one season. House of the Dragon will premiere August 21. -via Geeks Are Sexy
