HBO has unveiled the latest trailer for its Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon.

The plot centers on the Dance of the Dragons — the civil war that took place between Targaryen siblings Aegon II and Rhaenyra over the throne after their father’s death.The main characters will be Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith, “The Crown”), who is the king’s brother; his niece Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy), who is the king’s daughter; King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine); Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke); and Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint), known as the Sea Snake. Although “Game of Thrones” ended to mass audience dismay — and controversially gave the Targaryen family an unceremonious end when Jon killed Daenerys and then went off into the wilderness — HBO is going full steam ahead on the prequel, and author George R.

During an interview this week with Marc Maron on the “WTF” podcast, Dinklage was talking about the upcoming “Game of Thrones” spinoff series “House of the Dragon” when he urged HBO not to solely rely on “proven things that work.” There are several “Game of Thrones” spinoffs in development outside of “House of the Dragon,” including “Tales of Dunk and Egg” and an animated series. “Dragon” arrives this year and will surely be one of HBO’s biggest series of 2022.“I have an opinion,” Dinklage when Maron brought up “House of the Dragon” during the interview.

Tomris Laffly For a post-apocalyptic saga set in a barren future of extreme temperatures and atmospheric toxicity, “Finch” comes with a strangely cozy premise, one that sends the universally beloved star Tom Hanks on an adventurous cross-country road trip alongside an affable homemade robot and an especially cute pooch.The ever-paternal Hanks plays the eponymous character of Miguel Sapochnik’s impressively scaled science-fiction epic.
