What Is “House of the Dragon” About?
The prequel is set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones” and tells the story of House Targaryen. Based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 book “Fire & Blood,” the show tells another story of succession — this time the question of who will succeed Considine’s King Viserys, either his tempestuous brother Daemon (Matt Smith) or his daughter Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock plays the character as a teen, and Emma D’Arcy plays her as a young adult).
