HBO debuted a new preview promo for the HBO Max streaming service last night, and in addition to spotlighting some footage (it all seems to be from the theatrical cut) from Zack Snyder's Justice League, it confirmed that House of the Dragon is set for a 2022 premiere.

We also got an updated logo for the Game of Thrones spinoff, but that shot of the dragon breathing fire appears to be from the original show.

House of the Dragon will be set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and will tell the epic story of the monumental rise and tragic fall of the legendary House Targaryen.

Paddy Considine (Dead Man's Shoes, The World's End) will play the lead role of King Viserys Targaryen, and we recently found out that he'll be joined by Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One) as Alicent Hightower, Emma D'Arcy (Truth Seekers) as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, and Matt Smith (Doctor Who) as Prince Daemon Targaryen.

House of the Dragon is being developed as a 10-episode first season, co-created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal (Colony). Condal also wrote the script with Sara Lee Hess, and will serve as co-showrunner alongside Miguel Sapochnik. The latter will direct the pilot and additional episodes.

Production is scheduled to kick off early next year.

Martin is never going to finish the initial series at this point. Let's hope Brandon Sanderson can wrap it up like he did for Wheel of Time.

@MartinTanley - Winds will definitely come out. The main question is "Can he finish the story in just 2 books?" and then "Can he finish Dream in time?"

@soberchimera - Sanderson has already said he won’t touch it.

Can't deny that ssome of these look really interesting. In general HBO makes great (original) shows in my opinion, and don't doubt this will continue on Max

Really I find the existence of this show annoying more than anything else. They should have taken this time and money to finish the main show right instead of rushing it in 13 episodes.

@MrDandy - They wanted to, but Star Wars was calling D&D, and off they went to NOT do Star Wars and land in the white noise that is Netflix.

MrDandy - 12/18/2020, 10:18 AM
@Battabing - yeah, they should have told D&D you can go to Star Wars or stay....but we’re finishing this right.

@MrDandy - Unfortuantely, since this project originated with Benioff & Weiss and was then picked up by HBO, (and had Benioff's Goldman-Sachs dad backing it) it's likely their contract didn't allow them to be dismissed so easily, and their egos were too big to hand off the reigns to someone who still cared about the show.

How about a Game of Throne spin-off that deals with the other continents of their world. The more unknown parts of their world.
