So far, the pictures of the actors inhabiting the characters I’ve grown to adore from Fire & Blood don’t disappoint. Photograph by Ollie Upton/HBOĭREW: It feels like there’s an exciting new House of the Dragon development every time I wake up in the morning to check my phone. Maybe earrings were in style during the Dance of the Dragons?)Īnyway, what do you all make of these images? Anything stand out to you? Does this fire you up for what’s to come?Įmma D’Arcy as “Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen” and Matt Smith as “Prince Daemon Targaryen” in House of the Dragon. (Sidenote: Both women from these photos are wearing earrings, but apparently no women on Game of Thrones ever did? I haven’t actually confirmed this but I think it’s interesting. Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans also look sharp as Alicent and Otto Hightower. I also like it on Steve Toussaint, who will bring some diversity to the main cast in the key role of Corlys Velaryon. Daenerys Targaryen’s platinum blonde hair was one of the most iconic images from Game of Thrones, so why not make a show full of people with that trait?Īnd I think it looks pretty good on these characters.
The network wants to start its “Game of Thrones Universe” (I get a little nervous just typing that) with something people will recognize. I’m sure that’s all intentional on HBO’s part. The bleached blonde wigs, the chic renaissance faire attire, the natural locations…if not for the presence of Matt Smith and other new actors I feel like these could have come from a new episode of Game of Thrones. We won’t know for sure until 2022, but for now, these photos definitely give off an air of the familiar.
Will it go, will it flop, will it become a phenomenon to surpass Game of Thrones or a strange also-ran? Is it Frasier or Joey? Better Call Saul or That ’80s Show? DAN: Alright, HBO is taking its swing: new Game of Thronesshow.
