HBO Max unveiled a teaser trailer for its hugely anticipated `Game of Thrones` prequel `House of the Dragon` with an expansive cast at its European launch event on Tuesday, reports Variety.com. The American fantasy drama series `Game of Thrones` acquired an international cult following after it ran for 73 episodes across eight seasons between 2011 and 2019.
`House of the Dragon`, based on `Fire & Blood`, the 2018 novel of George R.R. Martin, is set 200 years prior to the events of `Game of Thrones` and tells the story of the House Targaryen and the Targaryen civil war that became known as the `Dance of the Dragons`. Martin, incidentally, is also the author of `A Song of Ice and Fire` fantasy novels, which inspired the `Game of Thrones` series.
Variety.com reports that the series, co-created by Martin and Ryan Condal, and slotted for a 2022 launch, has been given a 10-episode order by the network. The trailer, which features snippets of fight sequences and jousting, has a voiceover from Prince Daemon Targaryen, played by Matt Smith, who says, "Gods, kings, fire and blood. Dreams didn`t make us kings - dragons did."
Smith, who`s best known for reprising the Doctor in the BBC series `Dr Who`, will be familiar to followers of `The Crown` as the young Prince Philip.
