HBO has dropped the official trailer for House of the Dragon, its upcoming Game of Thrones prequel sequence! Watch under:

Okay, there’s rather a lot that jumps out right here. Let’s hit some highlights:

• First up, the rating by Ramin Djawadi sounds great. I like the thundering drumbeats. Very propulsive.
• The trailer lays out the story fairly successfully. Some 200 years earlier than the occasions of Game of Thrones, King Viserys I Targaryen desires to make his daughter Rhaenyra his inheritor, which pleases some folks and ticks off others, significantly the king’s unstable youthful brother Daemon (Matt Smith). Rhaenyra grows up assuming she will likely be inherit the Iron Throne, however there’s a problem within the type of her good friend Alicent Hightower, who finally ends up marrying her dad and has a son whom she would somewhat see take the throne.
• Dragons! We know the present will likely be stuffed with them, however we haven’t gotten a great have a look at them till now.
• The present positively does look darkish and foreboding. This is a tragedy on an epic scale, in order that’s acceptable.

House of the Dragon premieres on HBO and HBO Max on August 21. Not lengthy now.
