Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings (which will also have a prequel on Prime Video), Martin has a swath of information about the history of Westeros, meaning there’s more than enough material for multiple spin-offs and prequels of Game of Thrones. With so many details and so much history involved, Martin has a gargantuan amount of world-building to do, most of which doesn’t make it into the main series of novels. And much like other famous fantasy and sci-fi series (ahem, Dune), Martin’s books are long and complex, with an impressive number of characters and storylines and covering themes of political intrigue, romance, and more. Game of Thrones is based on A Song of Ice and Fire, the (as of now, unfinished) series of novels by Martin. What both shows do have in common though, is that both are based on a books written by George R. Starring Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, and more, the ambitious show will span decades, rather than the shorter time frame of HBO’s flagship series. Set 200 years before Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon follows the Targaryens and their fleet of dragons as they internally attempt to choose a successor to the throne. House of the Dragon, a prequel to HBO’s ridiculously popular Game of Thrones, introduces a whole new slate of characters fighting for the chance to rule Westeros.
