Ewan Mitchell plays Aemond Targaryen in HBO’s House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel.
With Season 2 of the spinoff dropping June 16, the cast has been promoting the premiere, and Mitchell revealed that he’s never seen the original series.
“I haven’t seen the original Game of Thrones,” Mitchell said in an interview with ComicBook after the publication asked him who he would want his character to interact with from GoT. “I have a confession to make. I’ve never seen it and I didn’t want to watch it going into this role.”
Mitchell continued, “I didn’t want it to inform my decisions in any way, shape, or form, you know, whether it be consciously or subconsciously. I wanted to bring something fresh. Aemond is one of a kind, you know.”

It has been more than a decade since we got one of the most disturbing episodes in any TV show, the Red Wedding. The event shown in Season 3 Episode 9 titled The Rains of Castamere continues to haunt Game of Thrones fans to date. But George R.R. Martin loved a major aspect that made the episode more significant in the history of television.

In the vast and intricate world of fantasy literature, only a few names resonate as profoundly as George R. R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien. Martin’s successful work on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire, which inspired the hit TV series Game of Thrones, has taken inspiration from numerous popular fantasy works, one of which also includes Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

However, as much as he admires his work and admits that Tolkien has significantly influenced his work, Martin has also not refrained from openly sharing his criticism. However, despite his mixed feelings towards the author and his work, Martin has been humble enough to credit Tolkien for paving the way for the success of his own series.

It’s still early to say what the future will hold for yet another spinoff of Game of Thrones, but the universe’s actors appear to have already signed up for the project in their heads should they indeed be officially cast.
George R.R. Martin’s fantasy franchise has recently been keeping busy developing House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, with the latter being in the early works right now, but the universe surely has bigger plans for its expansion. With more characters’ stories receiving vaster attention than expected, Game of Thrones’ franchise may soon introduce a spinoff of a spinoff.
As House of the Dragon is set to continue its extremely successful TV run for several years to come, one of its characters might be getting his own show, but in a very weird way.

House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere on June 16th, and fans are gearing up in anticipation. The series is based on George R. R. Martin’s fictional history book Fire and Blood. Due to this, fans expect the show to follow a certain storyline based on the source material. However, Season 1 of the show surprised many by excluding important characters and changing storylines.
Given this scenario, people are curious whether even more characters will be cut from the show. One of the characters people are most eager to see is the young dragonseed Nettles, described as a girl of common birth who rides the dragon Sheepstealer. Recently, showrunner Ryan Condal appeared on the Black Girl Nerds podcast, where he addressed this question.

When it comes to churning out books, Stephen King and George R.R. Martin could not be further apart in their approach to writing books. While Martin takes quite the amount of time (given that his books are much bigger and merit more thought due to the complex nature of political intrigue) to finish his books, Stephen revealed how he is able to churn out so many books in a year.

Game of Thrones went from being one of the most celebrated shows in recent memory to the poster child of how not to end a show and waste a decade’s worth of character development. While the initial part of the show is still considered some of the best that television had to offer in the 2010s, the ending of the show, five years on, still remains a sore topic for fans and audiences.

The conflicts and the environment that the show set up in its initial seasons were not congruent with the resolutions and solutions that were put forward in the finale of the series. Westeros was a country plagued by vassals having more power than they needed, which put the crown at risk. The solution would have been a stronger regime rather than an autocratic system of power.

"House of the Dragon" was always going to live in the shadow of "Game of Thrones." The big question was how effectively it could operate in that shadow, and if it could carve out its own identity while weathering constant comparisons to the series that spawned it. The show's first season was an often remarkable proof of concept — yes, this was another show set in author George R.R. Martin's fantasy kingdom of Westeros, but it had its own flavor, its own tone. Spanning decades (and recasting several key characters halfway through the season as they aged up), it was a show operating at a sprint, hungry to prove itself, and hungry to prove itself entirely self-reliant, that it is its own show.
The funny thing about the long-awaited second season of "House of the Dragon," after all that grand distance established in the first outing, is how much it feels like "Game of Thrones.

On House of the Dragon, there are prominent characters named Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, and Rhaena. There’s an Alicent and also an Alys. There are identical twins named Arryk and Erryk (both pronounced like “Eric”). There are references to multiple characters named Jaehaerys, and there’s also a Jacaerys, whose nickname is Jace, though you shouldn’t confuse him with a different character named Jason. And did I mention that Jason also has an identical twin?

The opening lines of “House of the Dragon” Season 2 stem from a character I’m not meant to name speaking of things that have no real bearing in the “Game of Thrones” universe. “Duty is sacrifice,” the man says. (I hope I can say he’s a man.) “It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honor must pay its price.” Sorry to interrupt, good sir, but who are these “men of honor” you speak of? Are they hiding? Is HBO saving them for the next spinoff? Some are certainly dead, given the body count on which George R.R. Martin has built his brutal world, but there are scant few in “HotD” who fit the description. To be fair, the narrating man qualifies, and his colleagues also appear to be living a principled existence. But having seen nine seasons of heartless betrayals and maniacal power grabs, simply recognizing one...

Despite dystopian fantasy novels filling up bookstores on every street corner around the world, only a rare few manage to never go out of stock. It may be as ancient as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit (1937) or as recent as Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games (2008), but the allure of escaping into a universe beyond one’s imagination never fails to attract crowds of fans thirsty for an escape.

Like J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythology of Middle-earth, J.K. Rowling’s Hogwarts, and George R.R. Martin’s Westeros, the dystopian city of Panem that serves as the setting of the Hunger Games then ushers in a world crafted by an excess of violence, control, power, political machinations, and tragedy.

When Ryan Condal decamped for the U.K. in 2020 to begin work on a Game of Thrones spinoff, it hadn’t occurred to the screenwriter that he, his wife and their two young children wouldn’t return to Los Angeles anytime soon. “It was about two years later, when the show came out and everybody watched it, that I finally thought, ‘Oh, Ok, we’re going to be here for a while,’ ” he says.
The “everybody” in question was 29 million viewers, per episode, across platforms, a stat that minted House of the Dragon as HBO’s new flagship.

Season 2, however, is about to change everything, as both branches of the Targaryen family will enter the battlefield to start a real war for the Iron Throne.

After the long wait of nearly two years, our favorite epic fantasy political drama is back, and this time with even more dragons. It has been more than five years since Game of Thrones ended and no other series has been able to replace the hole it left in the television space until its prequel series House of the Dragon came out to reclaim its fans and apologize to its fans for the terrible Season 8 of Got. Now we are finally getting the second season of the fan-favorite HBO series.
Based on Fire & Blood by author George R. R. Martin, the HBO series is created by Ryan Condal and R. R. Martin.

Exclusive: It’s a case of good news-bad news for The Last of Us fans who have been patiently waiting more than a year for new episodes of HBO’s award-winning drama adaptation based on the acclaimed video game. When Season 2 finally arrives in 2025, it will be shorter than Season 1, consisting of seven episodes. But the good news is that a potential third season will be “significantly larger” and possibly bigger in scope, and there could very well be a Season 4 coming behind it according to series co-creators, executive producers, showrunners and directors Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. Plus, one of the Season 2 episodes will be “quite big” in length.
The size of the Season 2 order was hinted at in January when Deadline revealed the lineup of the season’s seven directors, including Mazin and Druckmann. The duo arrived at the number of episodes after careful consideration.

Launched back in 2011, a fantasy drama show Game of Thrones, based on George R.R. Martin’s book series A Song of Ice and Fire, was quick to become a whole new phenomenon on modern TV, and one can hardly ignore the epic series’ influence on the way the industry has transformed by adapting to its viewers’ high standards.
Despite its compelling storyline and all the variety of characters, Game of Thrones is still a somewhat synonym to the extreme violence that has accompanied its plot till the very end, though it seems that the show has been violent not only to its characters, but also to another successful HBO series.

Greatness in writing comes in different forms, and two shining examples of this virtue are prolific authors Stephen King and George R.R. Martin. While King is popularly known as the ‘King of Horror’ for his masterful depiction of narratives in the genre like The Shining, Martin is the bonafide genius of fantasy with Game Of Thrones.

The fact that Matt Smith has been in three of the most well-known franchises in the world is proof of his extraordinary acting talent.

He recently recalled meeting Kit Harington, during the early days of Game of Thrones.

The Game of Thrones series finale was one of the most controversial endings in TV history. The HBO fantasy series saw many prominent character arcs sacrificed in favor of a sensational ending, leading to many fans’ ire. Even the final battle with the White Walkers that the season teased was done away with by episode 3.
However, author George R.R. Martin, whose books inspired the show had a completely different plan for the story’s ending. In a letter to his publisher about the outline of A Song of Ice and Fire, the writer described what he planned to do with the series and spoke about the climax, which sounds much better than what the show ended up making.

House of the Dragon is returning for Season 2 and the cast is teasing what viewers can expect when the show returns to HBO on June 16.
Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, and Matt Smith talked to Deadline and teased what is ahead for the fantasy drama, with Smith revealing that the show will be more like its older sibling.
For Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower, returning for the second season of the George R.R. Martin-created series was like a homecoming.
“We know the characters inside out, and we’re sort of going back home, in a way,” Cooke told us. “We’re not afraid of the text or afraid of the big sets that are sort of home away from home.”
Cooke teases that in Season 2, Queen Alicent Hightower leaves the castle with the actor saying, “That was huge for me. I went to Spain. I went to Wales and I went to Surrey.

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon has all the familiar concepts that GoT fans have come to love: magic, mystery, murder, and mayhem. However, a reveal at the end of the episode 1 took everyone by surprise. We find out about Aegon Targaryen’s A Song of Ice and Fire prophecy. Aegon the Conqueror was the first Targaryen ruler of Westeros and he had a vision of the White Walkers and that only a Targaryen with a dragon could save humanity.
It may explain why George R. R. Martin‘s Game of Thrones book series known as A Song of Ice and Fire received its title. It is a twist that retcons Game of Thrones and reframes the White Walkers’ defeat. This article delves into what this prophecy is. It attempts to explain what the implications could be for the future, as well as how it connects to Got.

It’s almost “House of the Dragon” season again, which means it’s time for HBO to put everything it has into showing off the megahit series.
The Season 2 world premiere at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom was attended by cast and crew, celebrities, press — and, as Casey Bloys noted in his opening remarks before a screening of Episode 1, members of the executive board of Warner Bros. Discovery, including C.E.O. David Zaslav.
“I’m guessing that they’ve had a couple conversations saying, ‘Where’s all that HBO money go?'” Bloys said. “And my hope is that you see it on screen tonight. The dragons are very cool, they’re very expensive, but I did ask the production team to give me an idea of what it takes to put on a season of ‘House of the Dragon’ or a show of this size.”

House of the Dragon Season 2 Runtimes Could Make Up for Shorter Season - Main Image
Unlike the first season of House of the Dragon, which had ten episodes, Season 2 has been previously announced to have only eight episodes. However, the recent news on episode length may more than make up for the fewer episodes.
The premiere episode is revealed to have a runtime of 64 minutes. Its title, A Son for a Son, hints at a vengeful plot to even the odds after Rhaenyra Targaryen’s son Lucerys falls in the hands of her half-brother Aemond.
Episode 2, on the other hand, will run for a whopping 72 minutes, setting a new record as the longest of the series. This extended runtime is ten minutes longer than the average episode length of Season 1.

For years, fans have clamored for a Bloodborne PC release, hoping to experience the hauntingly beautiful world of Yharnam with enhanced graphics and smoother gameplay. However, as much as we love Bloodborne, the truth is, PC gamers already have access to plenty of titles that scratch the same gaming itch – albeit without satisfying the ‘exclusivity’ factor that Bloodborne continues to maintain.
Here are five reasons why a Bloodborne PC release isn’t as necessary as you might think!
Reason #1: Dark Souls III (2016) Facing a fiery dragon in Dark Souls III | Image via FromSoftware
Dark Souls III, another well-known masterpiece from Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware, offers a dark and challenging experience that is quite similar to Bloodborne. With its intricate level design, hard-core combat, and deep lore, Dark Souls III provides a satisfying alternative. The game’s gothic atmosphere and relentless difficulty will make any Bloodborne fan feel right at home.

The Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragon has so far had a good run and has quickly become one of the best fantasy shows of all time. Created by George R. R. Martin and Ryan Condal, the show takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the original series. Featuring how the House Targaryen lost its influence and the war of succession that followed, the show nonetheless has had spectacular reviews and reactions.

Yet there have been moments and events that fans found issues with. One of the most significant issues of the series is the development of Matt Smith’s Daemon Targaryen, which fans have to view more as hero-like. But in an interview, Condal clarified he is not like Han Solo-like character.

Initially released back in 2022, House of the Dragon was quick to become a whole new phenomenon in modern TV history. Being a part of Game of Thrones franchise and coming as its prequel, the show puts its entire focus on House of Targaryen’s story full of cruelty, blood and dragon fire.
While House of the Dragon seems to follow its predecessor’s suit and keep a similar tone, it still appears to have a unique approach to the history of Game of Thrones’ most controversial family, and it may be due to some real-life inspiration that eventually strengthened the show’s authenticity.
In the upcoming second season, House of the Dragon will kick off a grand full-scale war between the divided family members of House of Targaryen, proving that even tight bonds can’t be a reason solid enough for not staking everything in an attempt to gain ultimate power.

But it’s the tension between Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and Daemon (Matt Smith) that stands out the most. “Do you accept me as your queen and ruler?” Rhaenyra asks her husband, her voice shaking. When Daemon can’t answer, her look is one of shock and anger. House of the Dragon Season 2 premieres Sunday, June 16 at 9/8c on HBO (streaming on Max).

Building upon the basic principles of developer FromSoftware’s previous cult hit games, Elden Ring brings players an exquisitely absorbing fantasy. Everywhere you go, there’s always something alluring, or something that can obliterate you, or both. There’s no doubt that exploring and slowly conquering this masterwork feels like an achievement.
One of Elden Ring’s most striking aspects was the involvement of Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin. While many reports in the past have suggested that Martin played a major role in crafting the universe of the Elden Ring, it seems like Hidetaka Miyazaki was the one who gave us this beautiful universe all along.

Before he wrote such memorable lines as, "A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone" and "death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities," novelist George R.R. Martin helped pen another instantly quotable turn of phrase: "It's rock and roll, you dumb son of a b***h!"
This quote is hilarious on its own, but even funnier when put in context: it comes partway through a now-forgotten episode of a once-popular "Twilight Zone" reboot series that aired from 1985 to 1989. The speaker of the quote is Gary Pitkin (Jeff Yagher), a spot-on Elvis impersonator. The subject of his ridicule? It's the King himself, also played by Yagher in a time travel plot that sees the two men come face to face on the eve of Elvis' first studio session. It doesn't go well. The episode, "The Once and Future King," was written by Martin from a story by Bryce Maritano.
