“House of the Dragon,” HBO’s first spin-off series of its record-breaking juggernaut “Game of Thrones,” will premiere on Aug. 21, the network announced Wednesday.

Set two centuries before the events of “Game of Thrones,” the ten-episode prequel series will depict how the House of Targaryen fell into a bitter and brutal civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons — presaging the beginning of the end of the ruling family of Westeros.

Going to be fun to watch this and LOTR back to back. Haven't been interested in TV for a while.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I'll pass. Prequels never interest me.

 

[Catphish]

They have a bit to prove before I care. I'll probably wait for the first season to air in its entirety, see what people are saying about it and, if feedback is good, watch it then.

 

[Fbh]

Yeah no thx. Fool me once and all that.

I'll wait for the show to be finished and if general impressions remain good I'll give it a watch.

They’re going to cover that entire saga/era in just ten episodes? That’s disappointing. I’ve recently read Fire & Blood, and there is so much content in there that ten episodes/one season will barely scratch the surface.

I’m gonna feel like a sucker but I’ll watch. Even if it’s a train wreck there should be some Targaryen tits

Agreed.

Prequels to me are when the writers run out of ideas or the main story is over, and they cant figure out a way to keep it going with future stories.

They see dollar signs within grasp so best way to grabs those dollars is keep it going with a prequel.

Remember when they killed this franchise? I wonder if they will be able to bring it back.

i try. i really do. but i cannot be bothered to watch tv/streaming content any more.

even when I am legitimately interested in something coming out I just don't get around to it and by that time my desire drops off significantly.

its this oversaturation. when every thing put out is intended to milk the hype, attention/time, and wallets of audiences.

 

[ntropy]

I sort of ... forgot about this

 

[EverydayBeast]

Gave the original franchise some love good to have game of thrones back

 

[IDKFA]

Hard pass.

 

[nush]

Not interested.
