HBO Max kicked off production for the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragons with a table-reading.
In photos released on Tuesday, April 27, Paddy Considine, Emma D’Arcy, and Matt Smith lead the script reading for the upcoming series. Considine will portray King Viserys Targaryen, Smith plays Prince Daemon Targaryen, while D’Arcy plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Steve Toussaint (The Sea Snake), Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), and Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower) were also present at the first table reading.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel Fire & Blood, House of the Dragons, the series is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones and will tell the story of House Targaryen. The prequel series, created by Martin with Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J Condal, is scheduled for release in 2022.
In March 2021, HBO Max also announced that three other Game of Thrones spinoffs are also in the works.
Game of Thrones bagged several awards during its 8-year run, including Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series in 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019, as well as Golden Globe nominations in the same years. The series’ finale, which aired in May 2019, was polarizing for fans. – Rappler.com
