Set two centuries before the events of the original fantasy show, House of the Dragon’s first chapter centers on the tensions between the Targaryens and the Hightowers, as the former’s once all-powerful dominion over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros begins to crumble. Spanning several years, it sees King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) break tradition and name his daughter Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) as heir to the Iron Throne, much to dismay of his entitled brother Daemon (Matt Smith). Rhaenyra’s ascension is complicated, though, when Viserys has a son with the scheming Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).
