Kit Harington shared his thoughts on the game of thrones spin off Dragon House.
Earlier this year, HBO premiered the first season of its game of thrones prequel series Dragon Housebased on the fantasy novel Fire & Blood by A song of ice and fire author George RR Martin. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, game of thrones Star Kit Harington spoke about the new series, which has so far received positive reviews from audiences.
“You know, I’ve kind of slipped – not because I don’t like it – but I’ve just been really busy. But I will catch up,” Kit Harington told THR. “I’m kind of halfway through the season. I have to watch the second half, so I’ll try to avoid any kind of spoilers. I mean, it’s awesome. They did a brilliant job with it. I’m really impressed with this show and how they’ve continued it.
The season 1 finale of Dragon Housetitled “The Black Queen,” drew 9.3 million viewers when it premiered on HBO, the network’s biggest final viewership since the last episode of game of thrones in 2019. The episode was leaked two days before its official premiere on HBO and aired concurrently with Sunday Night Football and Major League Baseball.
A second season of Dragon House is currently in development at HBO. The second season begins filming early next year and won’t arrive until 2024 at the earliest, according to recent comments from Casey Bloys, president and CEO of HBO and HBO Max.
Dragon House takes place approximately 200 years before the events of game of thrones and follows House Targaryen – the noble house of Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen from thrones – as a civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons erupts between the contenders for the Iron Throne.
Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J. Condal served as co-showrunners on Dragon House first season. They also produced the season alongside George RR Martin. The series features a star-studded cast that includes Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Paddy Considine, Rhys Ifans, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best and Sonoya Mizuno.
