The Targaryens are back in this 10-episode prequel series to the acclaimed and hugely successful Game of Thrones. Set 200 years before the events of Thrones, House of the Dragon shows us an era of Westerosi history when House Targaryen ruled the Seven Kingdoms and the skies above them.

As the season progresses, there’s plenty of treachery, machinations, court intrigue and of course dragons – all heading towards a power grab in pursuit of the Iron Throne. And now the whole season in its entirety is available to buy on the Virgin Media Store.
 

We met the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, in Game of Thrones and followed her quest to take back the Iron Throne. But this series sees House Targaryen at the height of its power. It begins with the reign of King Viserys I, the fifth Targaryen ruler, the question of his succession and what unfolds after he names his daughter, Rhaenyra, his heir – when the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros have never been ruled by a woman.

While Game of Thrones is based on George RR Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire series of novels, House of the Dragon draws inspiration from the author’s “history” book, Fire & Blood. That means while there are locations and noble houses familiar to Game of Thrones fans, it also embellishes and builds on the lore. We meet families such as the Hightowers and the Velaryons, and discover new lands such as Driftmark and the Stepstones.

And, of course, there’s a new collection of characters to meet, and fans have also been raving over the House of the Dragon cast. From screen powerhouses such as Paddy Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum), Olivia Cooke (Sound Of Metal) and Matt Smith (The Crown) to Australian newcomer Milly Alcock making her impressive international debut, there’s no shortage of talent.

Whether you're a Game of Thrones superfan or just looking to get lost in a fantasy world, one thing’s for sure. Fire will reign.
