Before Stranger Things rose to glory, the average cool kid was obsessed with Game of Thrones. It might be time to dust off those capes and sharpen those collectable swords because Disney+ Hotstar has just dropped the trailer for the new spinoff of the show. The long-awaited HBO series, House of the Dragon, has almost arrived and the trailer is a mere glimpse into what it will offer its audiences.
The trailer itself has delivered a fair share of dragons as one would expect. The prequel is based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel Fire & Blood, and is set 200 years before the Game of Thrones. It is expected to chronicle the beginning of the end of House Targaryen eventually leading to the civil war aka The Dance of the Dragons.
The show stars Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen alongside Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans. The show will begin streaming in India via Disney+ Hotstar on August 22, and it is set to bring back the nostalgia of the early seasons Game of Thrones had to offer. So brace yourself for a whole lot of action, drama and of course…dragons!
