What is it about?
House of the Dragon, is a Game of
Thrones “successor show” that follows the Targaryens in a civil
war taking place in Westeros 300 years before the events of the original story
and we finally have the full trailer.
With House of The Dragon Starring Paddy Considine, Matt
Smith, and Emma D’Arcy, among many others, the show is currently the
only GOT prequel green-lit despite at the least three
others reportedly in the works. Although it may be a difficult task to
live up to the expectations set by its, record-breaking predecessor, the first
episode of House of the Dragon is already George R.R. Martin
approved.
“I’ve seen a rough cut of the first episode. And loved it. It’s dark, it’s powerful, it’s visceral … just the way I like my epic fantasy,” Martin wrote on his blog in December 2021.
Where was the show filmed?
While Game of Thrones was based in Northern Ireland for its entire run, House of the Dragon has opted to shoot in England instead. According to Radio Times, HBO confirmed in 2020 that House of the Dragon’s production headquarters would be at Leavesden Studios (the site of the Harry Potter films) in Watford, England. Fans also speculated early on that some scenes were shot in Cornwall, England, after
noticing that a stone
archway set being constructed there appears to have a Velaryon crest.
On April 27, 2021, The Daily Mail spotted Smith and D’Arcy walking together in
costume on a beach along the southwest coast of Cornwall. Repping the colors of House Targaryen’s coat of arms, Smith is dressed down to his boots in black, while D’Arcy wears a gown with several shades of red. Both of them being dragonriders, are sporting icy blonde wigs that would make Daenerys proud.
