Game of Thrones Spinoffs
What to Know About the "Game of Thrones" Spinoffs
1
After several false starts, the first official spinoff for "Game of Thrones" will be "House of the Dragon," a Targaryen-centric prequel. Set centuries before "Game of Thrones," the series is based on portions of "Fire and Blood," a spinoff book by George R.R. Martin that chronicles the rise and fall of the powerful, dragon-riding Targaryen dynasty.
Around 300 years before "Game of Thrones," King Viserys I intends for his daughter Rhaenyra to inherit the throne, but his second wife and their son have different ideas. What results is an inheritance crisis that divides the Targaryens, plunging Westeros into a civil war called the Dance of the Dragons with consequences that reach for generations.
