HBO recently confirmed that “House of the Dragon” has begun production by sharing photos of the cast taking part in a table read.

“Fire will reign. The HBO original series #HouseoftheDragon is officially in production. Coming soon to @HBOMax in 2022,” reads the accompanying caption.

In the images, Matt Smith (Prince Daemon Targaryen), Paddy Considine (King Viserys Targaryen), Olivia Cooke (Alice Hightower), Emma D’Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Rhys Ifans (Otto Hightower) and Steve Toussaint (The Sea Snake) can be seen at socially distanced tables, reading from individual iPads.

The cast also includes Sonoyo Mizuno, Eve Best and Fabien Frankel.

 ‘The Crown’ star Matt Smith portrays the role of Prince Daemon Targaryen in the prequel.

“House of the Dragon” follows the Targaryen family in Westeros.

It takes place 300 years before the events in “Game of Thrones.” The series is based on author George R.R. Martin’s novel “Fire & Blood,” published in 2018.

It is one of six separate “Game of Thrones”–related projects in development at the studio. 

Emilia Clarke — who starred as Daenerys Targaryen in the award-winning cult series — recently gave the prequel her blessings.

Clarke said that spin-offs were “inevitable,” adding: “Godspeed, everyone!”
