The Dance of Dragons is one of the bloodiest chapters in Westeros’ history. A literal civil war of House Targaryens greatest warriors and dragon lords. The fact that Matt Smith plays Daemon, arguably the biggest hero/villain of the story, is just the icing on the cake.

The red dragon you saw was Ceraxes, also known as the Blood Wyrm, ridden by Daemon Targaryen. The golden dragon at the end is most likely Syrax, the she-dragon ridden by Rhaenyra. That giant leg that was seen was probably Vhagar, the last dragon from Aegon’s Conquest, who is ridden by Aemond Targaryen (the man you see in the trailer with the eye-patch) and the largest of the dragons in The Dance of Dragons!

This show is one of the two original pitches George made to HBO about a successor show way back in 2016.The show covers a part of the Targaryen history known as the Dance of the Dragons which is the Targaryen Civil War.The story takes place 200 years before the start of Game of Thrones and 100 years after Aegon's Conquest of Westeros. It is set in time when the Targaryens have already ruled Westeros for a 100 years and are at the peak of their powers.The show will feature Starks and Lannisters and other great houses as well but it is mainly about the Targaryens.The story revolves around the succession to the Iron Throne.The relationships,drama and politics are at the heart of this story.The characters are grey and the cast looks all set to bring that to life on the screen.The female characters of Rhaenyra Targaryen, Rhaenys Targaryen and Alicent Hightower are major players and are at the center of the story.And yes there are LOTS of dragons in the show.17 Dragons have been confirmed and are set to feature in the first season.They are bringing the details of the books to life with different colour schemes, different personalities and having saddles on the dragons.If you thought that Dany's dragons were big, oh boy you are in for a lot of surprises.We will see dragons ranging from mere hatchings to some of them being 60-70 year old and one which is all the way up at 180 years old.The trailer actually does a great job of misleading the viewers about amongst whom the conflict is taking place. So hang tight till the shit hits the fan😉. The story in itself is really great,the show looks really good,the cast is phenomenal, George is involved (unlike Game of Thrones seasons 5-8), whatever we've seen so far has got us hooked and the most important thing the showrunners actually care about it.Miguel Sapochnik who directed Game of Thrones episodes The Battle of the Bastards,The Long Night, The Bells, The Gift, Hardhome is experienced and is the showrunner on this show along with Ryan J Condal who has been in love with George's books for the last 20 years and understands the world and really cares about it.Would recommend that you react to Entertainment Weekly's House of the Dragon cast interview video and the official A new reign House of the Dragon video on GoT's official channel which gives a preview/behind the scenes of House of the Dragon and it also has George RR Martin and the showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J Condal in it.

The showrunners for this are Miguel Sapochnik (the guy who directed some of the best action episodes in the original series) and Ryan Condal (a GRRM superfan who apparently feels very strongly about keeping true to the source material), and of course George himself is involved. I was disappointed with the way the show went in the latter seasons, I think the Jaime in Dorne arc was the beginning of the drop in quality and when they truly started to veer off the beaten path of the original story, so knowing this is being created by a talented team with the full source material to work with I'm actually pretty optimistic - something I never thought I would say again about a GoT property after 2019.

Rhaenys was the eldest grandchild, and the only child of Aemon, Prince of Dragonstone and Lady Jocelyn Baratheon. Viserys was the elder son of Prince Baelon and Daemon is Viserys’ little brother. Edit: I suppose the stuff with Rhaenerya and Daemon is a little different, because when Viserys fathers sons with Alicent Hightower…welp, that’s when the REAL shit happens.

@@lonely_adolescent2715 i know and i agree with you. However people act like season 8 is the worst thing on television. If people would just make the effort to google the show they would see the writers are different, the producers that made some of the best episodes in game of thrones will play a major part in house of the dragon, if people made the effort to know that GRRM found someone he himself trusted to adapt the books, someone he knows read the material, knows the universe and is invested in it. GRRM, the author of the books himself gave a thumbs up when they made him take a look at the show. Then you have the crybabies complaining about season 8 when literally the signs shows that this show will be a success. I get the disapointment cause i am a game of thrones fan but sheesh people need to move on lol. The acting, the design, the cinematography, the music, battle, special effects and pretty much everything else in season 8 was a perfect 10. The hate comes from the rushed storyline but people will highlight the bad over the good. Just move on and enjoy the new content

@@unknownwarrior5672 Oh, I'm well aware that the writing was essentially the only damning flaw of season 8 (as well as major parts of season 7), but it was so bad, that the whole world united in shitting on the show haha. The visuals, sound design, choreography etc. were always brilliant, from start to finish. I'm just hoping that this new show will be reminiscent of the early seasons of GoT, where political drama, scheming, betrayal and wonder were all key components of the show :)

The fact that they just dropped the whole Euron plot (which is far more interesting in the books) was just a sign to me that things weren't going to go in a fun direction. But that's just the very tippy top of the iceberg with how the show went down. That Targaryen armor is just so fucking stunning - I'm feeling as pumped as I was when I saw Ser Arthur Dayne (who deserved _SO_ much more screen time and background.... 🙄 and a REAL Dawn...) I just hope I don't become deflated as quickly as I was with the Sword of the Morning.

The people with the white dreads are members of House Velaryon, a very powerful house in the crownlands, they were very powerful because of their mighty velaryon fleet. It was this fleet that transferred aegon the conqueror’s men from Dragonstone to land. And their part in this civil war will be legendary cause their fleet did massive damages to the greens and also the tall man with the dread is Corlys Velaryon ,head of the house and husband to Rhaenys Targaryen. They had two children Laena and Laenor. Laena rode Vhagar before she died giving birth to Daemon’s son. So their connection with the Targaryens has been from Valyria.

The best seasons of this show received very few awards. The Emmys became a popularity contest.
