REVEALED: Return of the dragons - The Real Truth

Three years after the end of Game Of Thrones, it feels good to revisit Westeros as HBO is set to premiere the first season of the long-awaited House Of The Dragon. The new series stars a new cast, including Paddy Considine, Tom Glynn-Carney, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, Rhys Ifans and more. In Thailand, the first 10 episodes will debut at the same time as in the US, on Aug 22 on HBO GO.

Based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, House Of The Dragon takes place 200 years before the events of Game Of Thrones. It follows a pivotal moment in the history of House Targaryen during the height of their power in Westeros when they had the most power, respect and dragons. While this story is also in Game Of Thrones, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) was almost the only Targaryen we spent time with. But now, we will get to witness House Targaryen existing together on screen at the same time. The new series sets up the civil war and sibling rivalry between Prince Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney), and Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy), also known as "The Dance Of The Dragons", according to the original material from Martin's Fire & Blood. This eventually led to the fall of the Targaryen society we saw at the beginning of the original series.
