Game of ThronesauthorGeorge R.R. Martinreveals that the upcoming HBO prequel series,House of the Dragon, will not have any likable characters, unlike the original show.
The popularity of an epic fantasy television series likeGame of Thronescapitalized on itssuccessand has now started expanding its franchise with multiple spinoffs. The studio is currently working on three animated projects and four live-action series on deck.House of the Dragonwill be the first spinoff to premiere afterGame of Thrones.
The story will follow the House Targaryen’s origins three centuries back, and fans will witness the rise and fall of its empire. The events will lead to the greatest civil war calledDance of the Dragons. Starring Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, and Rhys Ifans, the prequel is based on Martin’s novel,Fire & Blood.
No ‘Arya Stark’ Kind Of Character For House Of The Dragon
In his recentinterview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Martin discussed the series and compared it to a ‘Shakespearean tragedy’. He said that it won’t feature lovable characters as they did inGame of Thrones.
“It’s powerful, it’s visceral, it’s dark, it’s like a Shakespearean tragedy. There’s no Arya — a character everybody’s going to love. They’re all flawed. They’re all human. They do good things. They do bad things. They’re driven by lust for power, jealousy, old wounds — just like human beings. Just like I wrote them.”
The author also commended the script for theHouse of the Dragon. After the controversy that followed the final season ofGame of Thronesin 2019, fans are hoping that the prequel will remain faithful to the source.
A character like Arya Stark will definitely be missed by fans, but they will also be introduced to a new set of people with different motives and ambitions, who are most likely driven by a thirst for power.House of the Dragonarrives on HBO Max this August 21.
