The debate over whether or not the last season of
Game of Thronesruined everyone’s appetite for the series rages on, but we’ll find out the truth when HBO launches its prequel series
House of the Dragon. The prestige network (and streamer) has released the first
House of the Dragonimages for the series, and it appears there will be a lot of standing around on beaches for the ancestors of Daenerys and, of course, white hair wigs.
The three
House of the Dragon images feature the show’s stars Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Rhys Ifans, and Steve Toussaint. D’Arcy and Smith feature in the first image as dragonrider Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her uncle Prince Daemon Targaryen doing their very best not to look at each other pensively. The second image shows Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, aka the Sea Snake, who was referred to in the series and is a famed adventurer of the high seas. Finally, Ifans and Cooke do their level best to avoid eye contact as Hand of the King Otto Hightower and as his daughter, Alicent Hightower.
