House of the Dragon: Everything you need to know

Winter is coming... again

Warm up your dragon and prepare to whip your long blond wig in the wind, because it’s almost time to go back to Westeros with the new series House Of The Dragon...

GET READY...

The Australian release date is Monday, August 22, on Binge and Foxtel after it premieres in Los Angeles.

WHEN WILL IT PREMIERE?

Paddy Considine plays King Viserys Targaryen, who’s good and kind and wise. There are three power factions manoeuvring for the throne.

WHO IS IN THE CAST?

First is his younger brother Daemon, played by Matt Smith. He’s a fearsome warrior and dragon rider but the real power struggle will actually be between two women...

 ...Viserys’s daughter and heir Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and his new wife Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).

Alicent is the daughter of the King’s Hand Otto (Rhys Ifans) so obviously he’s going to be on her side.

With a rumoured budget of close to $20 million for each episode, it’s going to look good. The showrunners are Ryan J Condal and Miguel Sapochnik.

PRODUCTION

Sapochnik was responsible for such stunning GoT episodes as Hardhome and Battle Of The Bastards, so that’s a big positive for any fans who were nervous about whether there would be a hangover from GoT’s last season.
