Based on George R. R. Martin’s ‘Fire and Blood’, House of the Dragon is one of the most anticipated series this year after the conclusion of Game of Thrones 3 long years ago. And here’s why you absolutely need to watch House of the Dragon.

House of Dragon is the prequel of Game of Thrones, set 200 years ago that takes us back to the land of Westeros.
The series digs into the tumultuous time of the Targaryen dynasty as they fought to rule the 7 kingdoms of Westeros.
172 years before the birth of mad queen Daenarys Targaryen, the Targaryen family spiralled into conflict over the Iron Throne – and dragons were a more common sight.
Expect plenty of tension, drama, action and cunning schemes not for the faint of heart.
The series boasts an entirely new cast and characters, centered around Rhaenyra Targaryen, daughter of King Viserys Targaryen and her quest to claim the throne as the rightful queen.
Without a male heir, King Viserys’ younger brother, Prince Daemon, was next in line based on an ancient patriarchy.
Though Prince Daemon is a formidable warrior and a renowned dragon rider, his unpredictable nature troubles the King’s closest advisors.
According to show producer Jocelyn Diaz, “There’s a key line of dialogue when Rhaenys, the Queen Who Never Was, says to Rhaenyra ‘men would rather put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.’ And that proves prophetic,”
Matt Smith, who plays Prince Daemon Targaryen added, “they are a family at war. And that’s a story that happens again and again throughout history. In some ways they are a normal family but in others they are a very strange family – with dragons.”
Fans of Game of Thrones will immediately recognise the familiar setting of King’s Landing and the Red Keep, though keen eyes will notice the iconic throne is different from what we’ve seen so far.
Making his return to the series is composer Ramin Djawadi, once again lending his sound to paint the airwaves of Westeros.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Game of Thrones or if you are new to the series, House of the Dragon brings a gripping tale not to be missed. Catch House of The Dragon on demand via HBO GO on Astro Ultra Box. Catch up same day at 10pm on HBO CH411.
