The show is based on the 2018 novel Fire and Blood written by George R. R. Martin.

Talking about the prequel, Martin says "So far, I am very excited. House Of The Dragon has wrapped in London and is now in post-production.

So if it's got the green light from him, it's certainly good enough for us! So mark down the date team and make sure you (or your ex) have paid the Neon bill!

And if you've been under a rock for the last few years, you can also watch seasons 1-8 (every episode) of Game of Thrones on Neon.
