No dragons included, but, given that Game of Thrones’ first spinoff is about all things Targaryen, they’re not going to be far off.
HBO has released the first official stills from House of the Dragon, the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel. Set 300 years before the events of the landmark series, it follows the earlier generations of House Targaryen’s rule of Westeros — and a bloody civil war between various factions of the family over two young rulers’ claim to the Iron Throne.
