House Of The Dragon has 10-episode order. Based on George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood, the series will tell the story of House Targaryen (a.k.a. the House that gave us the Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen) and take place 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It is created by Martin, Miguel Sapochnik, and Ryan J Condal and scheduled for release in 2022 on the HBO Max.
