Petty and entitled this may well have been. There’s also a hope that it will eradicate the sour taste left in the mouths of a fanbase so incensed by the main show’s final season (though in truth, the rot had begun at least a season prior) that thousands turned to in an attempt to get the final season rewritten and reshot. Not that the only purpose of the House of the Dragon is to shift subs. Like, do the Westeros branches of Pets at Home stock “Beware of dragons” signs? And to introduce Europe to HBO’s very own streaming service, HBO Max.
But here comes the first teaser for the new spin-off from HBO’s fantasy colossus Game of Thrones – to answer, we hope, questions left lingering after the main series wrapped up in 2019. A house to strike fear into the hearts of postmen, door-to-door salesmen and trick-or-treaters. Think how alarming stumbling upon the House of the Dragon on Rightmove would be.
