House Of The Dragon teaser trailer introduces Matt Smith and the rest of the Targaryens
The Game Of Thrones spin-off is slated to premiere next year
Two years after HBO announced that they would definitely be moving forward with Game Of Thrones spin-off, House Of The Dragon, they have finally dropped a teaser trailer. The short clip has given us fire, a brutal jousting match, a slightly clearer idea of when we’ll be able to stream the forthcoming series and, most importantly, a closer look at Matt Smith in that wig.
“Gods, kings, fire, and blood. Dreams didn’t make us kings—dragons did,” Smith says in a voiceover, reminding us that this is very much a story about the House Of Targaryen. Though we don’t get to see the dragon themselves in this teaser, at least we know their arrival is imminent.
The teaser didn’t give us much insight into the plot of the show but here’s what we do know: the series is based on George R.R. Martin’s book Fire And Blood and it will be set 200 years before the events of A Song Of Ice And Fire (which Games Of Thrones was based on).
As its name suggests, House Of The Dragon will focus on the Targaryen family history.
