The official trailer for HBO series House of the Dragon was released today. The ten-episode drama debuts Sunday August 21st on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen.
House of the Dragon – House Velaryon
House Velaryon has sparked debates across fan pages and chat groups as the show creators have cast black actors to represent the house. With some fans referencing no clear delineation of race in the George R. R. Martin fantasy series, other have gone down the rabbit hole of family lineage and rumored plot points to take issue with the choice. To them I say; RELAX and enjoy the journey as they ride fire breathing dragons.
House Velaryon Cast
Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Sea Snake.” Lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen. As “The Sea Snake,” the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros, Lord Corlys built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world.
Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, a dragonrider and wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, “The Queen Who Never Was” was passed over as heir to the throne at the Great Council because the realm favored her cousin, Viserys, simply for being male.
John Macmillan as Ser Laenor Velaryon, son of Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen.
Savannah Steyn as Lady Laena Velayron, daughter of Corlys Velaryon and Rhaenys Targaryen.
Bethany Antonia as Baela Targaryen, eldest daughter of Laena Velaryon and rider of the young dragon Moondancer.
