House of the Dragon Cast & Characters | Full Details!

On Sundays, prepare to return to the realm of “Game of Thrones.” “House of the Dragon,” an HBO prequel series, returns to Westeros. Instead of covering a vast story across multiple cities, this series focuses on the Targaryen dynasty approximately 200 years before Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen were born.

Unlike the original “Game of Thrones,” “House of the Dragon” does not have showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Instead, the prequel series was produced by authors George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal and is based on Martin’s book “Fire & Blood.” The novel spans several generations and chronicles the long history of House Targaryen; a second volume of the novel is expected to be released at some time (first, Martin must finish his main “A Song of Ice and Fire” series).

The story of the Dance of Dragons, which is the war of succession within House Targaryen, is told in “House of the Dragon.” Because it was extensively detailed in “Fire & Blood,” the complete story is available to read, thus HBO series watchers should be wary of spoilers for subsequent plots.

“House of the Dragon,” like the original series, immediately exposes viewers to a diverse range of individuals. Everyone has a variety of complex political, familial, and romantic (and occasionally all three!) relationships, so here’s a summary of who’s who.

On August 21, HBO and HBO Max will premiere “House of the Dragon.”
