It’s a very different Westeros.
HBO Max dropped a new trailer for its Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, where we see recognizable family names vowing fealty to the Targaryens. We also get a brief look at the hints of the conflict to come between the ruling family and beyond. And, of course, there are dragons.
The 10-episode series debuts Sunday, Aug. 21 on HBO and HBO Max.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood, House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and tells the story of House Targaryen.
