Fantastic creatures, sex, violence, power struggles, betrayals and a new Khaleesi. The best and the most talked about success game of Thrones come back with House of the Dragon (or the house of the dragon), the prequel to the famous saga, which seeks to revive its success with the same formula and continue its legacy.
Many have been the projects that have been considered as the first spin-off (or derivative series) of the famous saga, but finally a plot on the Targaryen House is the one that will take the place of the legendary series only three years after its controversial end. .
House of the Dragon premieres Sunday 21 August worldwide on the HBO Max platform with ten episodes, supported by its creator, George RR Martin -co-screenwriter- and a protagonist who is a clear homage to Daenerys Targaryen, the well-known Khalessi. Will Aegon Targaryen appear?
when it takes place
House of the Dragon takes place nearly two centuries before the plot’s epic fantasy A song of ice and fire (the collection of novels that inspired the original series) and the universe in which it is set is completely recognizable to its fans.
There are dragons (up to 17 creatures), fantastic creatures, love, hate, bloody battles and maneuvers of all kinds with one goal: to reach the Iron Throne. The Targaryens hold the throne of the Seven Kingdoms and peace reigns, but tensions abound with other peoples that can lead to greater conflict.
Far away is the assassination of the Mad King (Aerys II) and the near complete destruction of his lineage.

The protagonists
Princess Rhaenyra (played by Milly Alcock -young- and Emma D’Arcy -older-) is one of the protagonists. So are King Viserys I (Paddy Considine), Queen Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey and Olivia Cook) and Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith, the most famous doctor who), brother of the king.
Viserys, haunted by enemies inside and outside the capital, faces the difficult decision of choosing a successor between his daughter -Rhaenyra- and his brother -Daemon-, a violent, ambitious and clear example of the dark side of the Targaryens.
Rhaenyra’s fitness to be heir to the Iron Throne as a woman is one of the keys to the story. “When I am queen, I will create a new order,” she says in one of the scenes she has already seen Clarione (criticisms, in a few hours …).
The plot advances – with numerous temporal leaps – marked by wars, betrayals, marriages of convenience and an increasingly sick king, while it gradually becomes clear who are the most positioned candidates to ascend the long-awaited throne.
HBO Max maintains the formula with which it revolutionized television in 2011 and won millions of subscribers: an epic fantasy blockbuster, lots of rhythm and action.
