For “Game of Thrones” fans it is the series highlight this year: The prequel “House of the Dragon” starts on August 22nd on sky. The season, which was penned by author George RR Martin, is said to have ten episodes. At the premiere in London, the stars appeared on the red carpet and presented elegant and unusual outfit creations. From completely transparent to a layered look and with a high neck, everything was there.
House of the Dragon tells the story of the House of Targaryen from which Daenerys Targaryen descended in the main series. WOW (formerly sky Ticket) teases the plot a bit on its website: “Westeros, around 200 years before the death of King Robert Baratheon: The benevolent King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) rules over the seven kingdoms. He declares his daughter Rhaenyra (Emma D ‘Arcy, young: Milly Alcock) to the heir to the throne – although no woman has ever sat on the Iron Throne and he has also become the father of several sons with his second wife Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke, young: Emily Carey),” it says about.
Conflicts are inevitable, because: Not only Alicent’s father Otto (Rhys Ifans), who as ‘Hand of the King’ is Viserys’ closest adviser, considers his grandson Aegon to be the more worthy future king. It continues: “Though once close, Rhaenyra and Alicent become bitter opponents after Visery’s death. Visery’s shadowy younger brother, Daemon (Matt Smith), seems to have an agenda all his own – and it’s not said for nothing that the gods in the Toss a coin at the birth of a Targaryen to see if he goes insane.” The conflict finally ends in a civil war, the “Dance of the Dragons”. This ultimately spells the downfall of House Targaryen and its dragons.
