House of the Dragon poster features Milly Alcock as young and fierce Rhaenyra Targaryen

The key art of the House of the Dragon is here. On Wednesday, HBO shared a new poster of the Game of Thrones spin-off, set two centuries before the events featured in the show, to introduce fans to Australian actress Milly Alcock’s Rhaenyra Targaryen, a battling dragon rider for the right to occupy the coveted. Iron Throne during the bloody war nicknamed the “Dance of the Dragons”. She is seen sporting a red dress and a golden cape. It features multiple swords, which appears to be a reference to the Iron Throne. There’s also a glimpse of a ferocious dragon, which will most likely be used by the Targaryens to terrorize the people of the realm of Westeros. Her intense body language and icy stare unsurprisingly remind us of the fearless Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen (Emily Clarke), from Game of Thrones.
Titled by Paddy Considine as the Fifth King of the Seven Kingdoms Viserys I Targaryen, Matt Smith as his brother Daemon Targaryen, and Emma D’Arcy as the aged Rhaenyra, the cast of House of the Dragon features Rhys Ifans as the main of King Otto. Hightower, Olivia Cooke as her daughter and Steve Toussaint as the “Sea Snake” Lord Corlys Velaryon among others.
House of the Dragon is created by Ryan J. Condal and Game of Thrones author George RR Martin. Condal is co-showrunner with director Miguel Sapochnik.
For Alcock, House of the Dragon will be his first major release after Australian drama series Upright. She has previously starred in series such as crime thriller Reckoning and supernatural series The Gloaming.
House of the Dragon debuts August 21 on HBO and HBO Max wherever available. It will air on August 22 on Disney+ Hotstar in India. All eight seasons of Game of Thrones are currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
