Based on the George RR Martin book 'Fire & Blood', the series is set roughly 200 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones', following the story of the Targaryen civil war, known in Westeros history as the "Dance of the Dragons."
Featuring in the cast are Matt Smith, Emma D'Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Steve Toussaint, Rhys Ifans, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, and Tom Glynn-Carney, among others.
The series is co-created by Ryan Condal and George RR Martin, who also serve as executive producers. Condal additionally serves as showrunner.
Notably, the 'House of the Dragon' is described as one of the projects in the 'Game of Thrones' universe at HBO and Warner Bros. The studio is also planning for Season 2 of 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' - another 'Game of Thrones' prequel, which debuted its first season earlier this year.
A prequel film on Aegon's Conquest is also said to be in the works, as per Variety.
