GAME OF THRONES Prequel HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Shows Off First Images

It’s been one or two or 11 years since we bade farewell to Westeros by way of the Game of Thrones finale. And frankly, we needed the break. Not that we didn’t have to bear the occasional lengthy hiatus during the series’ run; but time away from Game of Thrones is perhaps what we needed to get us excited for another trek back through the Seven Kingdoms. Thus, we look upon the first new images from House of the Dragon, the first Thrones spin-off series, with curiosity. Granted, there’s not a lot of trekking going on here.

In this first batch of photos from House of the Dragon, things actually seem pretty serene. Akin to an everyday Insta of your friends hanging beachside. And frankly, if your friends sport hairdos this impressive, I don’t blame you for lurking on their feeds all day.

This first shot from House of the Dragon, above, features Emma D’Arcy and Matt Smith as Targaryens Rhaenyra and Daemon. Perhaps the married pair is enjoying the bounties of matrimony by way of a nice stroll through the morning dunes. As far as romantic partners in the Game of Thrones world go, Daemon was known to be a pretty supportive right-hand to Rhaenyra. We also know that Daemon was a stellar warrior, and Rhaenyra a gifted dragonrider.
