HBO has renewed “Game of Thrones’ Prequel “House Of The Dragon” for season 2.
The show’s premiere episode “The Heirs of the Dragon,” which aired on Sunday, garnered more than 20 million viewers in the United States alone, according to the statement by HBO.
In fact, there was so much anticipation for the show that HBO Max temporarily crashed on Amazon devices.
The statement by Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming read “We are beyond proud of what the entire House of the Dragon team has accomplished with season one.”
Set two centuries before the events of GOT, the new ten-episode prequel series shows how the House of Targaryen entered 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.
The new series created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan J. Condal (“Colony”) is based on Martin’s novel “Fire & Blood”.
The “House of The Dragon” cast includes Paddy Considine (as King Viserys I), Emmy D’Arcy (as Princess Rhaenrya, Viserys’ first child and his heir apparent), Matt Smith (as Prince Daemon, Viserys’ younger brother), Rhys Ifans (as Ser Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King), Olivia Cooke (as Lady Alicent Hightower, Otto’s daughter) and Fabien Frankel (as Ser Criston Cole, a knight with eyes for Rhaenrya).
