"HBO gave an update on its Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon at the TCA Winter Tour on Wednesday, revealing it likely won't debut until 2022.

HBO programming president Casey Bloys said at HBO's TCA Winter Tour panel that, 'my guess is we'll see it on the air in '22.'

He added that the writers, 'are in the room breaking story right now,' though no production schedule has been confirmed as of yet.

2022 debut: HBO gave an update on its Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon at the TCA Winter Tour on Wednesday, revealing it likely won't debut until 2022

As HBO was heading into its final seasons of Game of Thrones, it had commissioned five pilots from different writers, though only House of the Dragon moved forward to series.

The network did order a pilot for another project, an untitled Game of Thrones spin-off, set 8,000 years before the events of the show and George R.R. Martin's books.

That pilot starred Naomi Watts, Miranda Richardson and Jamie Campbell Bower, to name a few, written by Jane Goldman (Kingsman: The Secret Service) and directed by S.J. Clarkson (The Defenders), but the network passed on bringing it to series.

Bloys did commend Goldman for 'beautifully' building the world of the show, but since it was set so far before the original show, 'it required a lot more invention.'

'One of the benefits of House of the Dragon is there was a text from George and there was a little bit more of a roadmap,' Bloys added.

'[Goldman’s prequel] did have more challenges in terms of establishing a world, but I think she handled that beautifully… there wasn’t one glaring thing,'
he added.

HBO handed out a straight to series order for House of the Dragon, which was initially one of the five projects the network was developing.

While the initial project was written by Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman, Deadline reported in September that this is a brand new take on that world, written by Colony creator Ryan Condal.

The show will be based on George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood, a companion book released in November 2018, which details the history of House Targaryen.

House of the Dragon will be set 300 years before the events of the show and the books, detailing how House Targaryen and their dragons rose to power.

House Targaryen ruled over Westeros for 300 years, before Robert's Rebellion ended their reign.


In Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen marked the last of the Targaryen family.

I'm hoping that as well. They gonna show us some info in this as to how she can be brought back in some way.

But 2022, so many people not even gonna make it to then...I guess the writing gonna be spectacular and I'll be here for all the futuristic cgi and cinematography.

I'll be waiting I guess...

Boo, that’s sooo far away.

I haven’t read “Fire and Blood” yet but “The Princess and the Queen” novella (Aka the first Dance of Dragons) was sooo good. I was really looking forward to seeing that play out on screen.

Maybe it could work as a movie.

I was hoping we would see house of the dragon by mid summer 2021.

Hopefully GRRM finishes book 2 by the time the show gets into the later seasons, that's all I have to say.

And I hate to break it to y'all, but I highly doubt we'll see any Dany. Also there is gonna be helllaaaaaaa incest.

YES!!! I hope they focus on Aegon's Conquest with his two bad b!tch sisters! This is awesome.

I vastly prefer this over the rumors about there being a Robert's Rebellion series. Now they won't have to worry about de-aging tech for characters that were around then but younger.

Right now I am on team "They can keep it" until I have seen a trailer or something worth watching.

Signed

A very disappointed stan of the final season.

I wanna know what does HBO have in the GOT spot for this year?

Westworld season 3 comes back March 15th and runs for 8 episodes which means it will end May 3rd for the season finale.

The Witcher season 2 will be out next year so there's that.

Can't wait for it. Planning to rewatch season 1 closer to the time.

Just remember to toss a coin to your streamer when it comes back.

I like how they said Dany was the last Targ, not that weak b!tch Jon. :coffee:

And that is a long wait, but hopefully this means it will be worth it.

I'm glad no one includes Jon's worthless ass, a bastard to the very end.

I'm still conflicted about this show. I hope they do better by the characters than GoT did.
