What to Remember From ‘Game of Thrones’ for HBO’s ‘House of the Dragon’
“House of the Dragon,” a prequel series to “Game of Thrones.”The two fantasy dramas don’t have any of the same characters, but they are deeply connected both behind the scenes – with “Thrones” series author George R.R. Martin serving as a co-creator and executive producer of this series, and Miguel Sapochnik, a veteran “Thrones” director, now the co-showrunner of this show (alongside Ryan Condal) — and through the ancient family Houses that make up the cast of characters.Here are a few things to remember before watching the first episode of “House of the Dragon” (check back weekly for further updates as we learn more about the show): “HOTD” is about the reign of the Targaryens, the white-haired extended family who ruled the Seven Kingdoms with the help of dragons.
