House of the Dragon unveils the Targaryen family's intrigue in new trailer

HBO has released a new trailer for House of Dragon. The video, which you can watch below, unleashes the intrigue of a series that will extend the Game of Thrones universe. "History doesn't remember blood. It remembers the names," is one of the strong phrases that remind us of the death and murders within this universe.

House of the Dragon, everything we know

King Viserys Targaryen and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen are two of the protagonists of a trailer loaded with mystery. The series will tell the story of House Targaryen 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. The multi-headed dragon, an emblem feared by their rivals, forges one of the most important lineages in the A Song of Ice and Fire universe.

Paddy Considine leads the cast as King Viserys Targaryen, who you can see in the photo at the top of this article. He is followed by some exceptional performers: Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower), Emma D'Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen), Steve Toussaint (Lord Corlys Velaryon, The Sea Serpent), Eve Best (Princess Rhaenys Velaryon), Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower), Sonoya Mizuno (Mysaria), Milly Alcock (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen as a young girl), Fabiel Frankel (Ser Criston Cole), Ryan Corr (Ser Harwin 'Breakbones' Strong), David Horovitch (Grand Maester Mellos), Jefferson Hall (Lord Jason Lannister), Bill Paterson (Lord Lyman Beesbury), Matthew Needham (Larys Strong) and Gavin Spokes (Lord Lyonel Strong), among others.

House of the Dragon is one of the most relevant releases of the summer. We know that its shooting finished last February. George R.R.
