HBO releases trailer for House of the Dragon

HBO just release the much awaited Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon. The series is based on George R. R. Martin’s 2018 novel ‘Fire and Blood’ and set 2 centuries before the event of Games of Thrones.

House of the Dragon focuses on the fall of House Targaryen and the events leading up to the Targaryen civil war, known as the “Dance of the Dragons.”

The teaser did not provide much details on the series except that it’ll have a stellar cast;

  • Paddy Considine as King Viserys I Targaryen
  • Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen
  • Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower
  • Emily Carey portrays young Alicent Hightower
  • Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen
  • Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon
  • Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon
  • Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria
  • Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole
  • Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling
  • Ryan Corr as Ser Harwin Strong
  • Jefferson Hall as Lord Jason Lannister/Ser Tyland Lannister
  • David Horovitch as Grand Maester Mellos
  • Matthew Needham as Larys Strong
  • Bill Paterson as Lord Lyman Beesbury
  • Gavin Spokes as Lord Lyonel Strong

It’s unclear if House of the Dragon will have the same success as the Games of Thrones, and if having a familiar surname “Targaryen” is enough to sway Games of Thrones fans back to world of the Seven Kingdoms.

The House of Dragon will have ten episodes and will premiere in HBO Max in 2022. HBO did not provide any specifics regarding the release date.

There is a light inside all of us that never goes out. It will keep on burning no matter how dark the times have become because of the trials that test our spirit. This Christmas, we remember that God is this inexhaustible source, and the goodness He instilled in us will inspire us to pass on His light to others until our collective light wins and brings us real joy.

This is the lesson imparted by the stories featured in this year’s ABS-CBN Christmas ID “Ikaw ang Liwanag at Ligaya.” Take, for example, Arjanmar and Khaye Rebeta who proved that a pandemic could not dim their love story.

These and many other heartwarming stories will spark hope that a joyful Christmas is possible despite the challenges of the year 2020.
