The cast and crew share the thrills and challenges of entering the world Game of Thrones, and approaching it when the Targaryens at the height of their power.
I know it will. The showrunners are Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik. One is George R R Martin's best friend who George trusts more than anyone. The other is the director of all the best episodes of Game of Thrones (BOB, Hardhome, Winds of Winter, etc.). And also, this is completed story already. All you have to do is type in the Dance of Dragons to know exactly what kind of amazing cinematography and screenwriting is about to take place
@@jisse1900 the other houses should play a part. Especially stark if they show us from that early. If they show only after they already have their power I think you are right. But if not we should for sure see a lot of good stuff. It would be a wasted oppurtunity to not show starks and lannisters and boratheans or even the martells and tyrells. Unless they are a brand new house you have a lot of history to work with. And plenty that the targaryeans would not include in the history books. It is literally the most powerful house all fucking each other and killing each other with a 50% chance of each member being insane for no reason. They better not find a way to screw it up because I am having a hard time imagining the possibility with how much is already pre-written.
I mean... that was a comment on the costume design, which, sure, is an important part of world building, but I think those words are more literal than talking about the show as a whole.
What made Thrones brilliant was how the storyline built up the characters and gave you a sense you were with them on a journey. If this goes anywhere near that, I'm sure this will be equally compulsive viewing.
Since they robbed me of seeing Visenya when they chose the timeline of DoD, I'm going to get excited about the next best thing, which is Aemond One Eye on HER dragon.
Everything looks amazing so far. Sets, designs, costumes, actors, CGI, locations, all look fantastic. I literally cannot wait for this show and to get back and fully immersed into Westerosi politics and intrigue again!
@@andreim.5324 And it also has source material, most likely it'll be better than when Debinoff and Weiss decided to ruin the entire show with their bad story telling
hopefully good stories to tell! I have given up on most if not all sci fi stories/series these days!Star Trek isnt Star Trek, Star Wars that isnt Star Wars, Westworld that got no heart after season 2, The 4400 was amazing back in the early 2000s, now its politics only! Game of Thrones was amazing when it came out a decade ago, I hope they do the storytelling just as well as back then!
@@bernhardtsen74 Star Wars isn’t Star Wars ? 🤨 kenobi was the best piece of Vader we’ve ever seen and he might get his own show now , and the mando is awesome , now ashoka has her own show coming and Ander from rogue, book of boba was ass but everything after the sequel has been good
@@Monokazie Rogue One is the only Star Wars thingy after Disney bought it!Mandalorian is also good, but ehh... how come the tv series are better than the movies at all!
I dunno, Doctor Who was serious role at most of his tenure and as Philip in The Crown was pretty serious, he's not a comedic actor. But yes by and large he should get bigger roles.
I really hope GRRM pushed them to keep it as close to the book as possible. This should be absolute common knowledge by now, that GOT was plummeted when the showrunners had no endgame provided by the books, as well as arrogantly, haphazardly changing things left and right regardless of if it made character, story or lore sense. This is not news, it's a modern day phenomena how GOT kamikazed itself, so I pray they understood that making this one.
@@user-nv2wt4hi8t they are and aren’t staying close to the “source material” As Fire and Blood is an IN CANON history book told from 3 different points of view. 1 for the pro-greens, 1 for the pro-Rhynera and one named Mushroom 🍄 who gives fantastical and salacious accounts that might or might not have happened... The show will be what ACTUALLY happened. With no bias to either side. Just the actual events unfolding before our eyes. ....though I do so hope we eventually get to meet Mushroom. ✨🍄 ✨
@@Persephone_Personified Thank you for informing me, I've read the ASOIAF books but never Fire and Blood. To be honest, as long as they keep within the known lore of what happened, that will be great. And to me, even if they'd made it more like it's being told from an unreliable narrator's perspective, e.g. Mushroom, as long as that is canon, I am absolutely okay with that. My issue comes if they make changes to what was given by the source material.
“Dragons are like nuclear weapons.” I remember hearing that from GRRM or one of the GOT producers. That is apt to describe them. If you have a tool to exterminate your enemies they will be deterred to oppose you. The Targaryen’s faced opened hostility only after the dragons were gone. Imagine if the Soviets never developed their atomic arsenal in 1949, and the United States was the only country that had nukes after World War 2. America would’ve stood unopposed and been the undisputed hegemon, resulting in no Cold War.
They literally faced hostility when they had dragons too. Maegor the Cruel had to fight the Militant Faith and a lot of people rebeling against his tirany.
It’s kind of the sad the reputation they have received when they did such a beautiful job on season 1-5. Unparalleled television. None of this would have been possible without David and Dan and the only Song of Ice and Fire we saw on television might have been a disastrous and so far removed from source material adaptation like the one we got with the Wheel of Time series on Amazon. David and Dan helped define modern Fantasy Television and it’s what every fantasy filmmaker today strives to live up to.
I’m excited to see so much love and effort being poured into this show and world, with every piece of content being released I’m getting more and more hyped. I missed this world, and I can’t wait to jump back into it.
When its a large scale fantasy show like this and a lot of sets and all are practical effects and not CGI, you know its going to be good. That time and love really showed through on other amazing fantasy adaptations like LOTR and GOT.
This was a pretty important video to release. It's not just self-promotional, it's explaining to potential viewers how this is different from GoT and why people should watch it. Very important to hear GRRM contribute and also the line "What worked in Thrones, what didn't?" from Miguel to suggest they've learnt from their mistakes.
As a Targaryen loyalist, I'm soooo excited to see this. I have been longing to see their dynasty play out on screen and hearing how passionate Miguel and Ryan are about this show and truly honouring GRRM's work,puts me at ease that the show is in the right hands. I can't wait for this. So hyped!
I am excited as well. I am incredibly intrigued by the Targaryens, they're one of the most interesting and complex characters, but I do admit I'd rather have a stark on the throne than another Targaryen.
@@bulavo first off, they're Velaryons and not Targaryens. On the show, they made them black because they have Summer Islander ancestors. It's a way to set up potential spin offs that will be set outside of Westeros
I literally can’t wait for these awesome Sunday nights again it’s been such a long time. Plus I’m looking forward to watching peoples reactions of this series and talking about it at work or with your family. Also please don’t be that person who will spoil it for you it’s not fair that’s one thing I hated when GOT was on air people was trying to spoil for everyone so please don’t be that asshole and do that let everyone sit and watch and relax and enjoy it how it was supposed to be.
i am not a spoiler, but doesn't this show will explore sexuality and intimacy unlike any other. i am not entirely sure it's a four family member kind of show.
I’m counting down the days of the epic The Dance of Dragons from book two of Fire and Blood. The work, the love, the dedication, the painstaking task of building this world for the last fifteen years. Every single moment has been special and may it long continue.
4:23 - give it up to the designers, craftspeople and SET dressers who make this such a rich, believable world!!! Look at every small touch, prop and texture, that inform us - unconsciously perhaps - that real people have built, maintained and lived here for a hundred years 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@krollic The majority of the LotR fanbase has no problem with blackwashing. They have a problem with lore breaking and Amazons weird narrative that adding one black elf and one black dwarf is somehow more inclusive than simply expanding the story into the realms of Harad and Rhun, which were predominantly inhabited by PoC. It's just completely hypocritical and dishonest.
They are nervous because they are trying to do their job whilst being criticized by the online fandom before the show airs. If I were the producer, I would tell every showrunner,writer, actor to stay away from social media.
@@roddo1955 Oh god, social media has been sooooo vitriolic about this show which hasn't even aired, and ANY flaw or "transgression" they see in the trailers and or bts stuff is blown way out of proportion.

@@AlerieHightower i got that and i don't have problem with that. My critique is about the lady's "MORE DRAGONS" comment at the end of the video. If they really wanna match, or exceed the quality of the first 4 seasons and get back the fans, they need WAY more than that.
Absolutely adore that they either designed realistic sets or had it on locations. Absolutely sick of the drab, easy greenscreen that a lot of productions tend to go for now.
@@44r0n-9 Yeah it is great as it is, but season 1 of GoT wasn't the full vision, because of budget restraints. For example, Roberts hunts were supposed to have thousands of people, and were overly fancy. Then there is the Iron Thron, which was supposed to be huge. But they couldn't do these. So I see his point.
@@GreenFalcon926 season 1 with a higher budget would've been amazing. I really hated not seeing jaime fight outnumbered killing a bunch of men while calling out to robb stark before he 'misplaced' his sword in someone's neck.
I wasn't interested in this at all at first. Game of Thrones had me just so deflated, but I've started getting actually pretty pumped about this with each passing day.
You have no reason to be "deflated". This is a different show, different writers, different show runner, based off of a different book set at a different time. Get over it, and ENJOY something instead over pretending to be this victim of the media you consume.
@@donkeydarko77 lol I think I have every reason to be deflated after a disappointing season finale. I literally just said I was getting excited for this show. Go sit on some ice cubes and chill the fuck out.
@@Legolegs You are using an experience with one thing to inform your experience of a very DIFFERENT thing. That is not reasonable or logical. It's a child's way of thinking. Getting out of this habit of yours will improve your life 100 fold.
For the 3rd time today, I'm excited about this show. And even if I wasnt, you don't have to go around demeaning other humans for feeling a way that isn't on par with how you think they should feel. Go troll someone else.
@@Legolegs Right? It's like they didn't even read the second part of your sentence and just wanted to spew condescension on someone. I feel the same way you do. I was deflated at first, but now I'm totally psyched. The only thing that could make it better would be to see a Visenya flashback. :)
I can’t wait to finally see all the characters I’ve read about on screen. Now I can be sure that the first three ‘Strong’ sons have the right look and not silver hair 🤗
Little detail. Two times in this we saw(what I think to be) a model of old Valyria. Firstly it was really interesting to see how it probably looked like( very much like dragonstone), but also how the early Targaryens kept their Valyrian roots as proudly as they did. Things like this helps build hype for the show massively
I am booking myself a first class ticket back to Westeros and it is going to be one hell of a ride. I am beyond excited. Thank you to all involved for being so committed to bring the story to life and onto our screens. Aug 21st seems to be so far away right now!!!
@@oliviergimenez6156 if it even continues on season 8 shitty writing standards but gives at least some easing of season 8 and maybe,who knows, doing something with AEGON(!! )I'll still be happy with it. I'll watch it either way, its more thrones
The one sound here that sold me was the lone duduk. The instrument that defined Daenerys in the original show. As well as the choir that accompanied her story. So yes, I'm excited to see what the Targaryens were like at their peak. Khaleesi, we will miss you. With all our hearts.
I love the amount of detail and thought that has gone into this, gahhh i'm so excited! Only thing I'm a bit sad about is the lack of purple eyes. August 21st can't come soon enough!
"More dragons." Couldn't have said it better myself. As a huge fan of the show and the book series, I have high expectations for this series and so far it's looking pretty dam good. Game of Thrones is an epic phenomenon that has created a new precedent in television history and George R.R. Martin is truly a fictional genius of writing. I am so excited to see this show and for the future projects of the Game of Thrones world. Dracarys🔥
i couldnt give a single shit about the dragons tbhj i just want the brilliance of story telling, intrigue and diplomacy that i saw in earlier seasons of game of thrones.
I am so excited about watching House of the Dragon. I have always been fascinated by the Targaryens and their dragons so much that I became quite disappointed that Game of Thrones did not have much to offer in comparison.
Didn't think I was going to get excited for this after the monstrosity that was season 8 of GoT, but after seeing some clips, I'll admit that I actually am looking forward to this show.
Watch the first episode of #HouseoftheDragon for free here ua-cam.com/video/XrMdo8jF5Dg/v-deo.html A new episode is streaming Sunday night on HBO Max.
As much as I'm excited to see more dragons, I hope the show plays more to its true strengths: Brilliant dialogue and political intrigue.
If it's true to the book, it should.
I know it will. The showrunners are Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik. One is George R R Martin's best friend who George trusts more than anyone.

The words that reassured me the most.
"it's not a question of doing something better, it's a question of doing something beautiful"
well the words that terrify me are ''its really just the story of one family''
@@jisse1900 i mean what were you expecting it’s literally called house of dragons

3:51 Aemond One Eye looks so badass
Un popular opinión: He looks more badass and more "rogué prince" than Daemond🥶🙆🏾♂️
What made Thrones brilliant was how the storyline built up the characters and gave you a sense you were with them on a journey. If this goes anywhere near that, I'm sure this will be equally compulsive viewing.
and then, you watch 8th season ...
Dude Aemond looks amazing man this guy is going to be the Biggest villain on TV and people ain't ready
Aemond is going to become what Euron and the Night King should have been... an absolute badass to be feared
And when you think that Aemond was a teenager pretty much when the Dance started - it makes it even more crazy.
I totally agree! I just hope they don't messes up the character.
He's my most anticipated character. The actor has already nailed the look. Can't wait to see him and Vhagar wreak havoc!
Since they robbed me of seeing Visenya when they chose the timeline of DoD, I'm going to get excited about the next best thing, which is Aemond One Eye on HER dragon.

Not really necessary... It's great as is
@@44r0n-9 Yeah it is great as it is, but season 1 of GoT wasn't the full vision, because of budget restraints. For example, Roberts hunts were supposed to have thousands of people, and were overly fancy. Then there is the Iron Thron, which was supposed to be huge. But they couldn't do these. So I see his point.
No, it's great that it didn't. It had to build up
@@GreenFalcon926 season 1 with a higher budget would've been amazing. I really hated not seeing jaime fight outnumbered killing a bunch of men while calling out to robb stark before he 'misplaced' his sword in someone's neck.
It would be nice but season 1 was already great, without the trimmings
Everything looks gorgeous, glad they are still building sets and not solely sticking to CGI.
Love seeing “the boys” at last!!!!
Finally. . We are back in westros♥️🔥
I think just the fact that such a unique actor as Rhys Ifans is involved is a sure guarantee that it will be good.
I wasn't interested in this at all at first. Game of Thrones had me just so deflated, but I've started getting actually pretty pumped about this with each passing day.
You have no reason to be "deflated". This is a different show, different writers, different show runner, based off of a different book set at a different time. Get over it, and ENJOY something instead over pretending to be this victim of the media you consume.
@@donkeydarko77 lol I think I have every reason to be deflated after a disappointing season finale. I literally just said I was getting excited for this show. Go sit on some ice cubes and chill the fuck out.
@@Legolegs You are using an experience with one thing to inform your experience of a very DIFFERENT thing. That is not reasonable or logical. It's a child's way of thinking. Getting out of this habit of yours will improve your life 100 fold.
For the 3rd time today, I'm excited about this show. And even if I wasnt, you don't have to go around demeaning other humans for feeling a way that isn't on par with how you think they should feel. Go troll someone else.
@@Legolegs Right? It's like they didn't even read the second part of your sentence and just wanted to spew condescension on someone. I feel the same way you do. I was deflated at first, but now I'm totally psyched. The only thing that could make it better would be to see a Visenya flashback. :)
the actor for Daemon got badly injured doing stunts
that's some serious level of commitment
It's amazing to know he's trying so hard! Daemon is bad ass so I understand
I'd be committed as well if I was being paid millions js 😂😂
House of the dragon will be epic. The cinematography, production and visuals look amazing. And the dragons 🔥🔥🔥
I can't believe we're less than a month away from the premiere
Milly Alcock is so adorable! Her laugh and smile are both so cute!
I wish they would have just kept her for the entire story instead of splitting off into two actresses
@@yeetnama9094 Then how would they make her look older for the time jump?
Thanks for giving Dany the respect she deserves
I can’t wait to finally see all the characters I’ve read about on screen. Now I can be sure that the first three ‘Strong’ sons have the right look and not silver hair 🤗
Good story, good dialogues, no fan service and with the amazing World of GoT I'm ready to get fully immerse in this tv show.
Little detail.
Two times in this we saw(what I think to be) a model of old Valyria. Firstly it was really interesting to see how it probably looked like( very much like dragonstone), but also how the early Targaryens kept their Valyrian roots as proudly as they did.
Things like this helps build hype for the show massively
Right. That model of old valyria is like a giagantic model of dragonstone and it makes sense. Dragonstone castle was made to cater dragons above it.
Wow i didnt expect them to show the scene of Daemon actually stealing the egg. Nice! So many awesome clips! LETS GOOOO
3:11 I'm looking forward for the dance scene, we never got to see royalty balls in GOT only deathly dinners
True
I am booking myself a first class ticket back to Westeros and it is going to be one hell of a ride. I am beyond excited. Thank you to all involved for being so committed to bring the story to life and onto our screens. Aug 21st seems to be so far away right now!!!
Here I am after Viserys death in ep. 8 rewatching all previous videos of this exceptional show!❤
I am Missing Old cast of GOT 😭 they all were great actors.
This channel being active again for a new show is UNREAL! When GoT originally ended i never thought we’d be back. Lets gooooo!!!
GoT House of the Dragon & Snow! What is dead may never die but rises again, harder & stronger!
Yes!!! 🔥
What is dead may never die!
Except Snow will most certainly be commercial shit
What is dead may never die!!!
@@oliviergimenez6156 if it even continues on season 8 shitty writing standards but gives at least some easing of season 8 and maybe,who knows, doing something with AEGON(!! )I'll still be happy with it. I'll watch it either way, its more thrones
From the looks of it this is going to be amazing, sure hope we get many seasons from this to enjoy.
If there's one thing I'm extremely excited for with this series it's to see Vhagar on the screen. One of the original dragons of the conquest.
As a book reader of Fire and Blood ( source material ). This makes me so emotional and excited for this show.
I recognise so many things from Fire and Blood! Let's gooo I can't wait
The one sound here that sold me was the lone duduk. The instrument that defined Daenerys in the original show. As well as the choir that accompanied her story. So yes, I'm excited to see what the Targaryens were like at their peak. Khaleesi, we will miss you. With all our hearts.
i was really excited to see daemon but now seeing aemond i am even more excited, they’re both scary men!
So so excited to come back to this, got high hopes with the new producers
It feels like coming home
Carly Crays. Ur saying absolutely right.
I love the amount of detail and thought that has gone into this, gahhh i'm so excited! Only thing I'm a bit sad about is the lack of purple eyes. August 21st can't come soon enough!
The Visuals are amazing
Now there's a show I'd be looking forward to in the future
WHAT, i didn't know they build the whole castle for Kings Landings 😳. This is amazing to know how hard they work, really hope it pays off!
Can't wait to see all the hard work we've done for this show.
Excited to step back into Westeros with fresh eyes and an open mind. Hoping this sparks a new fire. And blood.
Thank god there actually using proper sets instead of green screening everything like most productions do nowadays.
Everything looks perfect.Can't wait to watch this amazing series.🐲👑🖤💚
All of the actors seem wonderful
Long life for House Of Dragon!! who we have ancestral medieval blood makes us feel at home Sincerely I really want to observe and enjoy this prequel
I’m so happy they went with this show first. I can’t wait.
the rogue prince. Let's have it Just ran back thrones the last couple days. I watched that show so many times I can't even count
That red map with fire is sick, I hope to see lot of cool stuff
2:51 I thought Lena Headey was talking lol
I really like the actresses for Rhaenyra
both of them ooze that Targaryen Confidence and Arrogance
"More dragons."
Couldn't have said it better myself. As a huge fan of the show and the book series, I have high expectations for this series and so far it's looking pretty dam good. Game of Thrones is an epic phenomenon that has created a new precedent in television history and George R.R. Martin is truly a fictional genius of writing. I am so excited to see this show and for the future projects of the Game of Thrones world.
Dracarys🔥
i couldnt give a single shit about the dragons tbhj i just want the brilliance of story telling, intrigue and diplomacy that i saw in earlier seasons of game of thrones.
@@imneverwrong5600 well of course, even with the dragons, GOT wouldn't have been as big as it was without those other elements
The Night King will be the real terror at some point of this prequel as well...
Anxiously waiting for this series
I'm honestly more interested and pumped for House of the Dragon than the Rings of Power.
This gives me chills
This was insightful. Nice.
Music look amazing !!!
then the storm broke, and the dragons danced.
I'm so excited for House Of The Dragon! ❤️❤️❤️
We are indeed very thankful for this gift... Thank you very much.. 👍❤️
Oh how I missed these videos...
Am I the only one who thinks Matt Smith kinda sounds like Ramsey Bolton? 😳
Open to it?? We are craaaving this! I can’t wait
I am so excited about watching House of the Dragon. I have always been fascinated by the Targaryens and their dragons so much that I became quite disappointed that Game of Thrones did not have much to offer in comparison.
I have a big surgery coming up at the end of August, I can't wait to watch this while I'm recovering!
Didn't think I was going to get excited for this after the monstrosity that was season 8 of GoT, but after seeing some clips, I'll admit that I actually am looking forward to this show.
Fire will Reign and Burn them all 🔥🔥🔥
This is gonna be amazing! I can already tell
