Breaking News: HBO Official Announcement - House of the Dragon's BIG Update! Game of Thrones Prequel

Welcome back for another Game of Thrones Prequel Series video. In this video, I will be talking about HBO's official announcement regarding House of the Dragon's big casting update. Today, HBO revealed they have added 7 new characters to the cast of House of the Dragon. I also play the clip of George R.R. Martin revealing there will be at least 17 dragons in House of the Dragon. The story of House Targaryen will be told. House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, is coming to HBO and HBO Max. Here’s everything to know so far.

What’s it about?
Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen..

Who’s behind the scenes?
Martin and Ryan Condal (Colony, Hercules) will serve as co-creators on the series. Miguel Sapochnik and Condal will be showrunners, and the pair will also serve as executive producers along with Martin, Vince Gerardis, Sara Lee Hess and Ron Schmidt. Sapochnik, whose directing credits include six Game of Thrones episodes, won Emmy and DGA honors for “Battle of the Bastards.” He was nominated for another Emmy in 2019 for directing “The Long Night” and won the Emmy for Best Drama Series as an executive producer for the final season. Clare Kilner (The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, The Wedding Date) and Geeta V. Patel (Meet the Patels, The Witcher) will also direct the series. Greg Yaitanes (Banshee, House) is director and co-executive producer. Game of Thrones and Westworld composer Ramin Djawadi will score the series.

I miss March 2019 when we were all super excited for season 8 and our expectations and hearts hadn't been crushed yet.

[samc]

Everything GRRM is excited for is everything I was hoping for - individual dragons each identifiable with a personality in a story where it actually matters if one dies. The CGI was great in GoT but I didn't like how they all looked the same and Drogon was the only one with a personality, and Rhaegal and Viserion were completely interchangable until Viserion died.

Fans of Vikings should also remember Jefferson Hall as Torstein . Happy to see him get a part on this.

[melissablackwood]

I'm glad he said the dragons will be different (hopefully correct) colors and personalities from the books. I'm looking forward to that.

[rrjunior]

You're working so hard for the updates and giving all the updates as soon as possible....wait and watch one day you'll somewhere great ☺️

[jleme]

A couple of Outlander former cast members seem to be cast in this HBO GOT's Prequel: Graham McTavish as Dougal and Bill Patterson as Ned Gown in Outlander. Both are incredible actors.

[Tweezy]

[tery_freak]

GRRM is excited about anything but Winds of winter...

[khaleesiamde]

I'm totally in Team Black, but the dragon i want to see the most is Sunfyre. Can't wait to see how they craft what sounds to be the most beautiful dragon in the entire story based on book description.

[amineyassa]

Two huge books
Two different worlds

I hope we see Balerion in action, at least in a flashback scene.

Internet: “Spider-man No Way Home's trailer is the most waited of all time.”

Me reading this and thinking about House of the Dragon: 🤨

[stephaniespain]

I read your message about not really wanting to finish up season nine because not a lot of people weren’t watching it. Well as long time loyal fan I’m very interested! Please consider doing it for us.

[darkstar]

17 dragons of different colors and personalities...Sounds a little more Interesting...Still have some doubts but I will watch

[maikawolf]

I wish George RR Martin would spend more time working on his bloody books! None of us is getting any younger :'(

[Golgari]

I can't wait to see good old Dwalin as a Kingsguard!!! And from what it looks, he's an honorable man!!!

[Divine_Chareka]
