Oh, and it's worth warning you, there are a few SPOILERS for the book Fire & Blood below. So, in preparation for House of the Dragon's arrival on HBO Max next year, let's take a closer look at the teaser trailer, unpack who the major players are, and examine what role they have to fill in the series. Though the drama has already unfolded in Martin's book Fire & Blood, a history of the Targaryens, House of the Dragon marks the first time the story has gotten the big budget HBO epic treatment. Martin and writer and producer Ryan Condal ( Colony), House of the Dragon is set in the buildup to and in the midst of a key event in the history of Westeros: The civil war known as The Dance of the Dragons, which pits two major Targaryen (and Targaryen-related) factions against one another following the death of a king. The footage was brief, but compelling, and if you haven't been following the history of Westeros beyond what was laid out in Game of Thrones, it was also probably very mysterious.Ĭreated by Game of Thrones author George R.R.
