Synopsis
The prequel series finds the Targaryen dynasty at the apex of its power. But their slow fall begins almost 193 years before the events of Game of Thrones, when King Viserys Targaryen breaks with tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.

Trailer
Is House of the Dragon on Netflix?
No, House of the Dragon isn't on Netflix.It's exclusive to:
In December 2023, a teaser trailer was released for season 2 of House of the Dragon. While the plot was still kept under wraps, there were details on new additions to the cast. This included Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne.
There was also no mention of a release date beyond the American summer 2024. In Australia, that means we'd expect it to release somewhere between June and August 2024.
Do you have to watch Game of Thrones before House of the Dragon?
No. House of the Dragon is a prequel, so you don't need any previous knowledge from the original series to follow along with the new chapter in the Game of Thrones saga.
Both shows may be set in Westeros, but this is a different Westeros than Game of Thrones viewers might remember, given that the action is set years before Ned Stark ever became Hand of the King. Even the Iron Throne looks different!
That said, seasoned Game of Thrones fans are surely already familiar with House Targaryen's rich history. It may be easier for them to follow along, at least at first.
If you're looking to brush up on your Targaryen lore, you might want to rewatch a few Game of Thrones episodes ahead of watching House of the Dragon. We recommend checking out Winter Is Coming (season 1, episode 1), A Golden Crown (season 1, episode 6), Fire and Blood (season 1, episode 10), The Dance of Dragons (season 5, episode 9), The Spoils of War (season 7, episode 4) and The Bells (season 8, episode 5).
