Game of Thrones, whether you liked the ending or not, was a major hit for HBO, and it is still regarded as one of the best series of all time, especially within the fantasy genre. We know that the service is currently preparing for the second season of the spin-off House of the Dragon, whose second season is going to premiere soon, but we also know that a prequel series titled Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is in the works and we have recently received some exciting casting updates for the upcoming series.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is going to be a prequel series set within the same world, based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg series, which is a series of novellas written by George R. R. Martin. The series actually focuses on the adventures of “Dunk” and “Egg” (the future...

With first successful Game Of Thrones prequel House Of The Dragon roaring back to our screens for a second season this June, there is some forward movement on another Westeros-set series. Boasting the slightly unwieldy title (for now) of A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, the series adapted from George Rr Martin's Dunk & Egg stories has found, well, its Dunk and Egg. Wreck's Peter Claffey will play Ser Duncan the Tall, while Dexter Sol Ansell, most recently seen in the Hunger Games prequel The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes, is on board as his diminutive squire.
With Ira Parker overseeing the series alongside Martin, the Dunk & Egg stories are set between House Of The Dragon and the main Thrones time period. They focus a young, naïve but courageous knight called Ser Duncan the Tall, and his squire. The friends travel Westeros in a time when dragons...

One thing that fans learned after watching Game of Thrones was that any character can die at any point in the series regardless of how significant they are. It seems like House of the Dragon is also all set to go on a similar path as its predecessor series and we might be witnessing a lot of unexpected deaths in the second season of the series.

House of the Dragon dropped two dueling trailers for its season 2 making the show’s intention clear. Just like how the Marvel fandom rallied behind Team Captain America and Team Iron Man during the release of Captain America: Civil War, HoTD wants the fans to pick sides. The two sides in this vicious Targaryen Civil War are Rhaenyra Targaryen’s team black and Alicent Hightower’s team green. However, fans have yet to meet some of the members of these feuding factions.

Releasing two trailers with two different sides of the Dance of the Dragons, the marketing strategy is quite brilliant. But we are not here to talk about marketing strategy.

The first spin-off to Game Thrones, House of the Dragon, which debuted in 2022, was a major success for the IP, and its second season is slated to premiere sometime this summer. But the series, helmed by showrunner Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik, wasn’t completely faithful to George R.R. Martin’s works, as the duo took their fair share of creative liberties.
Interestingly, the decision to stray away from the books, especially in King Viserys Targaryen’s case, improved upon the book, which left Martin wishing he’d written the character that way in the books.

“House of the Dragon” is asking viewers to pick a side in Season 2: Rhaenyra’s black faction or Alicent’s green team?
HBO dropped two unique trailers Thursday for Season 2, which premieres on June 16. One trailer focuses on Rhaenrya, Prince Daemon and their forces on Dragonstone, and the other is centered on the King’s Landing team of Alicent, her father Otto and her children King Aegon and Prince Aemond. Taking place 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” Season 2 of “House of the Dragon” will officially mark the start of the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen civil war.
In the wake of the Season 1 finale, in which Aemond murders Rhaenyra’s son Lucerys and his dragon, war is imminent in Westeros. The blacks and the greens are both gathering their forces, dragons and new allies to face off in a bloody, fiery battle to the death.

Forget what that other show said — winter is over, and things are heating up. The trailer trailers for Season 2 of “House of the Dragon” is here to prepare fans for a June 16 premiere, nearly two years after the first season debuted on HBO.
HBO on Thursday revealed two trailers for the second season, one for each side of the Targaryen Civil War. Are you Team Green or Team Black?
“House of the Dragon” is just one of the countless projects delayed by 2023’s Hollywood strikes, but it also happens to be a production behemoth that requires months of postproduction and editing even under ideal circumstances.

“House of the Dragon” is just one of the countless projects delayed by 2023’s Hollywood strikes, but it also happens to be a production behemoth that requires months of postproduction and editing even under ideal circumstances.

Every time a Targaryen is born, to paraphrase a memorable line from fantasy author George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire," the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land. This, of course, refers to the uniquely Targaryen penchant for instability that we caught a brief but violent glimpse of throughout "Game of Thrones" -- as it turns out, centuries of incestuous marriage traditions will have that effect -- but that was nothing compared to the relentless display of fire and blood in season 1 of "House of the Dragon." HBO's prequel series was set 200 years before the events of the original, back when the Targaryen dynasty had reached its zenith and spread its influence across the continent of Westeros. And despite concerns that the divisive final season of "Game of Thrones" might turn viewers off from...

HBO was built on the back of showrunners such as David Chase, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and Jesse Armstrong but is now facing a new dilemma involving directors.
Drama boss Francesca Orsi lifted the lid on the “consistent tussle” over who is charge of a series as more and more “esteemed” directors move into television.
Orsi, speaking at the Series Mania event in France alongside Jane Tranter, boss of Doctor Who producer Bad Wolf, said that high-profile directing talent want to be the “final arbiter” on the network’s originals.
“One point that’s been very tricky for us is esteemed directors coming in and wanting to be showrunners and the final arbiter of a project, when HBO has been built on the backs of writers and our showrunners,” she said.
She added that film directors are used to complete control.

Game of Thrones undeniably stands as one of the most influential shows in television history, leaving a lasting impact across various mediums. More than four years after its conclusion, the series remains a significant topic of discussion, though not always for the best reasons. Interestingly enough, one massive mistake by George Lucas might have made Star Wars just like Game of Thrones.

The success of Game of Thrones was rooted in its ability to craft a compelling narrative alongside exceptional world-building, providing fans with something to anticipate for over eight years. Regrettably, the series concluded in a manner widely deemed as one of the worst endings to a show, particularly the final episode of Season 8. This ending significantly impacted the overall excitement and reception the series had garnered, marking a disappointing conclusion for many fans.

House of the Dragon fans have been anxiously awaiting word on the release of season 2 of the fantasy series. It was previously reported that the series would debut sometime this summer, but that date has just been narrowed down a little more.
Warner Bros. Discovery streaming and gaming chief J.B. Perrette revealed (via Variety) that House of the Dragon season 2 will premiere on HBO in June but didn’t specify an exact date. The first season was a surprisingly big success for HBO, and I only say “surprisingly” because I honestly wasn’t sure if fans would be willing to return to Westeros after the disappointment following the Games of Thrones finale. Will the second season be able to keep the momentum going? HBO certainly hopes so, as they’re said to be actively developing seasons 3 and 4 of the series.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Game of Thrones network is now actively developing a show about Aegon’s Conquest, to be written by The Batman II co-writer Mattson Tomlin.
While the story of Aegon I, creator of the Targaryen royal family’s continent-spanning dynasty, has been bandied about as a potential spinoff option for years, this latest news suggests that HBO is finally ready to commit to it.

George R.R. Martin blames “anti-fans” on social media for the “rational discourse” around films and television shows ending.
The Game of Thrones author recently opened up in a post on his blog about what a “nightmare” last year was for him, both “professionally and personally.” He also admitted that he feels “so far 2024 looks to be even worse.”
While Martin said he tries to “take solace where I can. In chocolate thrones, if nowhere else, in books, in films and television shows,” he added that even “toxicity is growing” in those areas thanks to the era of social media.
“It used to be fun talking about our favorite books and films, and having spirited debates with fans who saw things different… but somehow in this age of social media, it is no longer enough to say ‘I did not like book X or film Y, and here’s why,'” he explained.

HBO’s Game of Thrones universe is expanding once again. Following the success of ‘House of the Dragon,’ a new spinoff titled ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’ is gearing up to start filming in 2024. This news comes straight from HBO’s Casey Bloys. While it was initially expected to begin production earlier, the team is still working on casting and writing.
The new series dives into George R. R. Martin’s ‘Tales of Dunk and Egg‘, set about a century before the events of Game of Thrones. It will explore the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg. The show plans to adapt the three novellas: ‘The Hedge Knight’, ‘The Sworn Sword’, and ‘The Mystery Knight’. HBO’s Francesca Orsi mentioned that the show’s lack of dragons means quicker production, thanks to fewer visual effects.

Writing on his Not a Blog website, George R.R. Martin related how he visited the set of what he termed “Hot D” for three days while it was being shot.
“All I have to say about that is… ohmigod! I am no stranger to film sets. I have worked off and on in television and film since 1986, where I joined the staff of the Twilight Zone revival at CBS. I still recall the rush where I saw them building Stonehenge on the sound stage behind my office, for an episode I’d written.

George R.R. Martin took to his blog to write about a recent trip to London, which included a visit to the studio where House of the Dragon was shot. “I also spent two days locked in a room with Ryan Condal and his writing staff talking about the third and fourth seasons of House Of The Dragon,” Martin wrote. “They were lively, fun discussions, and we got some good work done… though two days was not nearly enough. There is so much ground to cover that I am not sure twenty days would have been enough.“

Season 2 promises even more dragon warfare, as Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower’s forces go head to head — well, dragon to dragon.
