Game of Thrones prequel ‘House of the Dragon’ to release in August

HBO has revealed the first teaser trailer for "House of the Dragon", its upcoming "Game of Thrones" prequel series. The 10-episode first season will premiere on August 21 on HBO Max. 

Taking inspiration from George R R Martin's 2018 novel "Fire & Blood," the prequel tells the story of House Targaryen, including the civil war between Rhaenyra and Aegon Targaryen for control over the Seven Kingdoms. The war occurred roughly 200 years before the events depicted in "Game of Thrones".
