In agreeing to not just one but a whole handful of prospective Game of Thrones spin-offs, HBO Max committed to something big.
The main selling point of House of the Dragon, and indeed the other touted spin-offs, has always been Game of Thrones’ world – the indulgent fantasy lore of Martin’s books.
With a name like House of the Dragon, audiences might mistake it for an off-brand investment series fronted by Theo Paphitis.
Earlier this week, the first teaser trailer dropped for House of the Dragon, the earliest of the planned spin-offs coming to HBO Max.
