House of the Dragon trailer: HBO's Game of Thrones spin-off teases 'Gods, kings, fire, blood'

HBO Max on Tuesday dropped the first trailer for House of the Dragon, the spin-off to the hit fantasy series Game of Thrones, based on the books by George RR Martin. The series is set ‘200 years before the fall of the throne’ and the surprise trailer was revealed at WarnerMedia’s HBO Max European launch event.

“Gods, kings, fire, and blood,” says Matt Smith's character, Prince Daemon Targaryen, in a voiceover, as we see glimpses of the sea, fierce battles, and ominous shots of new characters. “Dreams didn't make us kings, dragons did,” he finishes, as the one-minute trailer cuts to the logo and title treatment, which bears the Game of Thrones brand and reveals that the show will arrive in 2022.
