Set to premiere on Aug. 21, fans finally see Targaryen’s house as the great house it was fabled to be in GoT. And trust us when we say that fans will probably get to see every grizzly detail. The upcoming show depicts the beginning of the end for the Targaryens, where a civil war erupted after two Targaryens make different claims for the beloved Iron Throne. So get ready to see dragons, fights, and maybe even some LGBTQ romances!
Who stars in House of the Dragon?
BAFTA-winning actor Paddy Considine will be playing King Viserys Targaryen. His previous and most notable roles in the past have been as Richard in Dead Man’s Shoes, Johnny in In America, and Steven Prince in The World’s End. Actress Olivia Cooke will be playing the Alicent Hightower, and she’s been in indie favorites like Ready Player One and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.

Along with that, Matt Smith will also be starring as Prince Daemon Targaryen. And if that name sounds familiar to you, you probably saw the Primetime Emmy nominated actor in Doctor Who or as Philip, Duke of Edinburgh / Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in The Crown.
Now Emma D’Arcy, who plays the lead Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, is a relative newcomer in the acting world. She has less than a dozen acting credits, with her past work starring in TV shows like Truth Seekers and Wanderlust. So we’re pretty excited to see how she’ll be in this long-awaited prequel.
