"What can we expect? Fire and blood!"

"And dragons!"

That's showrunner Ryan Condal and author George RR Martin on the upcoming Game of Thrones (GoT) prequel, House of the Dragon, which swoops onto HBO on August 21, BBC reported.

Fans of Thrones can be reassured it'll have much in common with the original.

But those still furious about the divisive finale to season eight will want to know: Is it worth investing their time and emotions in yet more conniving candidates for the Iron Throne?

Here's what we learned about the series on Saturday, as the cast and creators revealed an extended trailer at Comic-Con San Diego.

House of the Dragon is set 200 years before Game of Thrones, and follows the fortunes of the Targaryens—a noble family with the power to control dragons.

It's based on George RR Martin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood, in which the Targaryens unleash the worst imaginable family row—a gruesome civil war.

King Viserys (Paddy Considine) sits on the Iron Throne, the most dangerous chair in Westeros, as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. And the succession is proving competitive.

"I will not be made to choose between my brother and my daughter!" he rages in the extended trailer for the series. As Viserys is described as a decent man, a good king who believes in duty, the brutal forces of Westeros will likely contrive to crush that goal like Gregor Clegane crushes skulls.

The Stark and Lannister families, who dominated GoT, will appear mostly as bit players.

We meet the Targaryens at the pinnacle of their power and wealth. And they've got 17 dragons, and they ride them.

George RR Martin contends that his fantasy world is no more sexist than the historical episodes that influenced it—though some medieval scholars have argued the era was less misogynist than GoT implies.
