The series "House of the Dragon" is adapted from George R.R. Martin's book "Fire and Blood", which was developed by Martin and Ryan Condal. It will focus on the story of the "Dragon House" Targaryen family, involving the famous bloody civil war "Dance of the Dragons", which took place about 300 years before the story of "Game of Thrones". HBO has booked a season of 10 episodes. Directors include Miguel Sapochnik, who directed many episodes of "Game of Thrones" such as "Battle of the Bastards" and "The Winds of Winter".

Olivia Cooke played the leading role in Ready Player One. She will play Alicent Hightower in House of the Dragon, the daughter of "Hand of the King" Otto Hightower, the most beautiful woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She grew up in the Red Castle and was close to King Viserys and his circle of cronies. She is gentle and elegant, but also has a strong political acumen.
