The prequel, set some 200 years before the events of the original series, follows House Targaryen, the blonde, dragon-riding clan from which Khaleesi herself, Daenerys Targaryen, descended. “Thrones” viewers will also remember the long line of Targaryens driven mad, resulting at one point in a civil war called the “Dance of the Dragons.”
Instead, Martin and filmmaker Ryan Condal are credited as the prequel’s creators, and Miguel Sapochnik, who directed essential “Thrones” episodes like “The Battle of the Bastards,” is among its executive producers.
What will those dragon-riding Targayens get up to this time? Martin’s readers may know, but hopefully it’ll involve less genocide than Daenerys’ arc did. We’ll find out on August 21, when “Game of Thrones” Sundays return.
