First Look at: House of Dragon: HBO MAX

By: Kirk Jackson

HBO’s first ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff/prequel goes back nearly 200 years before the original series to focus on a power struggle involving the legendary Targaryen family.

Seemingly, the series aims to explore the significance and dynamics of the Targaryen family, along with the power struggle and events that took place prior to what viewers witnessed and were captivated by with the preceding HBO series Game of Thrones.

One of the major storylines will be the showcase of the reign of King Viserys I Targaryen, in which ultimately led to the Targaryen civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons.

This upcoming show slated for premiere this weekend, is based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, transpiring 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

House of the Dragon premieres August 21.
