In episode 2 of House of the Dragon, titled The Rogue Princewe have to see some of the trickery and intrigue that made Game of Thrones so famous. King Viserys Targaryen was pushed to remarry and his daughter Rhaenyra began to assume her role as heir to the Iron Throne. We’ll find out what episode 3 has in store when it airs on Sunday night.
The prequel to Game of Thrones is all about the Targaryen family. It specifically describes the rise and subsequent fall of House Targaryen; is based on a book called Fire and Blood that details a the civil war over the iron throne called Dragon’s Dance. House of Dragons is set about 200 years before Daenerys Targaryen became the Mother of Dragons.

It has its predecessor’s old primetime slot: 9pm PT on Sunday. The show will hit streaming services around the world at the same time, including HBO Max in the US.

Game of Thrones was one of the most popular drama series in the world, known for bringing the blockbuster Hollywood production to your TV. Some of the brilliance of the show faded in the last two seasons, however, as the HBO show was created at a faster rate than Martin could churn out new books. The sixth book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series, The Winds of Winter, is notorious for constant delays.
Fortunately, House of the Dragon allows HBO to once again copy from Martin’s notes. The show is based on Fire and Blood, a book Martin wrote in 2018. Fire and Blood is the first of two volumes Martin is writing about the Targaryen dynasty: House of Dragons begins about halfway through.
